2. Future Collider Collaboration in Canada, building on detector R&D in DRD effort, potential large scale contributions from Accelerator 
3. Strengthen TRIUMF key expertises as an Asset to the Canadian community "What is TRIUMF for " Part of the case for Research centres (Quantum Science, A.I., Detector) -

 

5 Discussion points for beyond 2035 ; 20 year vision

New large scale projects thoughts at TRIUMF

1. Strengthen TRIUMF key expertise for an Asset to the Canadian community "What is TRIUMF for " Part of the case for Research centres (Quantum Science, A.I., Detector). In Particle Physics will support ongoing projects with a long  timescale ATLAS + Future Collider, Hyper-K, ALPHA, UCN (user facility), PIONEER
2. Quantum Sensing, e.g. accelerator based superconducting cavities for low mass Dark Matter
