A one-day event, by and for young researchers, organized by the Italian representatives of the ECFA Early Career Researcher (ECR) panel, aimed at bringing together for the first time the ECR Italian community on the occasion of the ECFA Plenary at LNF. The aim is to start a discussion about the future of our discipline, in the context of future accelerators and beyond, focusing on career paths and physics perspectives.

Part of the event will be dedicated to building an Italian ECR network with the goal of informing, sparking discussion, and promoting constructive intergenerational dialogue ahead of the European Strategy. The organisation of a follow-up community event, planned for October, will also be discussed.

Due to logistical considerations, only a few representatives per section have been invited, but the event is open to anyone who wishes to participate. Please register if you plan to attend online or in person.

In the afternoon session, participants who wish to do so will be invited to present the activities of their laboratories in 2-3 slides that might be of interest for this meeting. The aim is to foster networking and awareness regarding the work of various groups, ideally having one representative per section. The idea is to have a series of flash presentations rather than a long list of contributions that would take up the entire day. Slides should be uploaded to the shared cernbox before Wednesday morning.
