Abstract:
This talk presents searches for new phenomena in charm decays at the LHCb experiment and
discusses their connection to future flavour-physics facilities. It introduces flavour physics
as a powerful precision approach to probing physics beyond the Standard Model, with a particular
focus on rare charm transitions, CP-violating observables, angular asymmetries, and tests of
lepton universality. Recent LHCb results on rare charm-meson and charm-baryon decays are reviewed,
including null tests in $\Lambda_c^+\to p\mu^+\mu^-$ searches for decays of the form $D^0\to h^+h^-\ell^+\ell^-$
and the interpretation of these measurements within the framework of weak effective theory.
Finally, it outlines the prospects of LHCb Upgrade~II and discusses complementary long-term opportunities
for charm and flavour physics at FCC-ee and other future experiments.
