DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Federico Nova (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)\nA fu
 ture neutrino experiment based in Japan\, Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) consists o
 f a high-intensity neutrino beam from the J-PARC accelerator targeting a N
 ear Detector suite\, an Intermediate Water Cerenkov detector and an underg
 round world-largest Water Cerenkov Far Detector\, providing 0.19 Mt (fiduc
 ial mass) of ultra-pure water sensed by newly developed photo-sensors with
  40%-equivalent photo-coverage\, to perform Cerenkov ring reconstruction w
 ith a few MeV energy threshold. A second identical far detector may later 
 be added in Korea.\nBuilding on the legacy of Super-Kamiokande and T2K\, t
 he HK project will address a broad scientific program and substantially en
 hance our knowledge of both particle physics and astrophysics. Its objecti
 ves include precise measurements of neutrino oscillations and CP-asymmetry
  (with CPV discovery at 3 sigma for 76% of the phase space)\, solar neutri
 no astronomy\, determination of supernova burst dynamics\, detection of su
 pernova relic neutrinos allowing to study supernova populations\, searchin
 g for nucleon decay with improved sensitivity (10^{35} years for p->epi0 m
 ode at 90%CL) and finding possible exotic phenomena. \nHere we will presen
 t the project status and milestones\, from the beginning of construction i
 n 2020 towards the commissioning in 2027.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za/ev
