Technical Infrastructures

Infrastructure and Operation Working Group (IOWG)

From January 2014 to May 2021, the concept studies for technical infrastructures were carried out in a working group called "Infrastructure and Operation". The following table provides an overview of the different topics dealt with and provides direct links to the Indico pages and minutes of each meeting. The information created therein remains a working baseline during the FCC Feasibility Study. As of June 2021 the work of the IOWG was continued by the TIWG.
