Abstract

The ILC Technology Network (ITN) was established in 2022 by the ILC International Development Team, a subcommittee of the International Committee for Future Accelerators, to advance engineering studies toward the realisation of the International Linear Collider (ILC). While the ITN work packages focus on engineering activities for the ILC, their topics are also relevant to a broad range of accelerator applications in particle physics and beyond. These work packages are being carried out now by laboratories in Asia and Europe in close collaboration. This report summarises the current status of the ITN activities.
