The ECCE (EIC Collider Experiment) consortium was recently formed as part of the EIC-EOI process (<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ecce-eic.org/eoi__;!!P4SdNyxKAPE!SCr7RjQVtgc91a5kek-2btviIW77k-LUXwy_bBGmQ_c_GcISVQmTQIrhGoDq$" class="" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">https://www.ecce-eic.org/eoi</a>).
The consortium members are currently continuing to develop ECCE as a general detector concept that meets the design requirements and performance goals for an EIC detector as laid out by the EIC Yellow-Report process.</div>

As part of this effort a first ECCE workshop will be held virtually on <u class="">Thursday February 11th</u>. The workshop will discuss the ECCE concept and ways in which current and new collaborators can get involved as we progress towards an anticipated call
for proposals for EIC detectors. A full agenda will be forthcoming shortly and in the mean time you can feel free to contact us if you want to make a specific contribution to the workshop.</div>
