Professor Heuer is instrumental in shaping the European and international program in energy frontier physics. In this lecture, he will take a look into the future of particle physics.Professor Heuer is currently the director of high energy physics and astroparticle physics at Deutsche Electronen Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg, Germany.
