You encourage the international particle-physics community to support Japan's offer to host the next big particle collider, the International Linear Collider (ILC; Nature 492, 312; 2012). But the case for the ILC is not strong at this point, considering that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland has revealed only one standard-model Higgs-boson-like particle so far.

The European strategy for particle physics will shortly be updated, but many European countries are hesitant to invest taxpayers' money in another large-scale collider (Nature Physics 9, 1; 2013). Instead, the community should be focusing on the LHC, its future upgrades and other, smaller-scale physics projects.
