  23. Summary • Czech HEP community visible in numberofexperiments • Large diversity of physics programs • Around the globe (Europe, USA, Japan) • Long tradition of the Czech presence in HEP experiments (BIS, LUDMILA, RISK, BCDMS, UA4/2, NA57, WA94, WA97, H1, DELPHI, OPAL, D0, …) • H1 and D0 finished but still a few PhD theses being completed these days • A massive orientation to CERN: CMS, TOTEM, COMPASS, MOEDAL, NA62, OSQAR, AEGIS, DIRAC • In each of these experiments, the Czech contribution is significant and recognized • Often multi-task commitment and responsibility within one experiment • Hardware – Software - Analysis • Several positions in managements • Czech HEP community feels and sees the future in CERN. Therefore it supports FCC and closely watches the development. Czech institutes are about to sign MoU soon. • The community hopes for a continuous and adequate support (as it has been so far). M.
