Particle accelerators seem to be getting bigger, more powerful and more expensive in the quest for knowledge that helps us understand the Universe. This panel discussion brings together top researchers from around the world to discuss the challenges in designing today's accelerators for use in answering tomorrow's research questions. Representatives of four possible future projects discuss how and why these machines are being considered, where the major challenges lie and present their long-term vision for the future.

Suzie Sheehy is particle physicist with a knack for science presenting. She currently holds a joint appointment with STFC and ASTeC to work at Oxford University on high power hadron accelerators. After presenting a Discourse and a series of videos on accelerators at the Ri, she is returning with physicist friends and colleagues to discuss the future of particle accelerators.
