Six years after its first definition in 2006, the European strategy for particle physics was updated so as to take into account the progress made so far and the evolution of theglobal particle physics landscape.
The Strategy Statement paper, produced by the European Strategy Group (ESG) assisted by an ad-hoc Preparatory Group, was approved on 30 May 2013 by the CERN Council in a special meeting hosted by the European Commission in Brussels. This document is completed by the Deliberation Paper describing the rationale behind the Strategy Statements and some suggestions on organisational matters.
