Brazilian input to the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update

Abstract: The Brazilian High-Energy Physics (HEP) community has expanded remarkably since its first involvement at CERN and Fermilab in the 1980s. Its recent organization under the Brazilian Network for High-Energy Physics (RENAFAE), since 2008, has further strengthened its scientific and technological goals, particularly in detector instrumentation, computing, and industry partnerships. In 2024, Brazil became an Associate Member State of CERN, opening new opportunities for deeper engagement in accelerator and detector R&D. This input to the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics highlights Brazil's current participation in LHC experiments as well as ongoing developments in detector and accelerator technology, and details the community's view towards future colliders. The potential for expanded scientific and industrial collaborations between Brazil and CERN is also discussed.
