DPF Community Meeting

This meeting is sponsored by the APS Division of Particles & Fields. It is an opportunity for the HEP community, laboratories, and funding agencies to discuss the infrastructure for long-term leadership in HEP.
The meeting will be delivered via zoom and selected talks will be recorded.

Each meeting attendee needs to register at this link before midnight Eastern Time on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
Explanation: We will be using an APS zoom license for this meeting. To allow for discussion, we are using a zoom meeting instead of a webinar, but that requires that attendees register ahead of time to protect from zoom-bombing. They will receive a personal link to join the meeting.
If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the organizers (schellmh@oregonstate.edu and seidel@unm.edu)
Everyone who registers for or participates in the Community Meeting activity agrees to abide by the Code of Conduct and accepts the prescribed APS Ethics Investigation and Resolution Procedures.
Attendees please note: LANL Director Thom Mason will give a colloquium on “Research Security” on Thursday, December 18 at 4pm CT at Fermilab. He will be the inaugural speaker of the new Fermilab Director’s Colloquium Series which will be held in hybrid mode. The Zoom link for the Fermilab colloquium is:
