{{As of|2017}}, approximately two percent of the CERN annual budget is invested in the development of CLIC technologies. The first stage of CLIC with a length of around {{cvt|11|km|0}} is currently estimated at a cost of six billion CHF.<ref name=Burrows_CLIC_CERN-2018/> CLIC is a global project involving more than 70 institutes in more than 30 countries. It consists of two collaborations: the CLIC detector and physics collaboration (CLICdp), and the CLIC accelerator study. CLIC is currently in the development stage, conducting performance studies for accelerator parts and systems, detector technology and optimisation studies, and physics analysis. In parallel, the collaborations are working with the theory community to evaluate the physics potential of CLIC.

The CLIC project has submitted two concise documents as input to the next update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPP) summarising the physics potential of CLIC<ref>{{cite arXiv |eprint=1812.07986|collaboration=The CLIC and CLICdp collaborations|title=The Compact Linear e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> Collider (CLIC): Physics Potential|class=hep-ex|year=2018|last1=Roloff|first1=P.|last2=Franceschini|first2=R.|last3=Schnoor|first3=U.|last4=Wulzer|first4=A.}}</ref> as well as the status of the CLIC accelerator and detector projects.<ref>{{cite arXiv |eprint=1812.07987|collaboration=The CLIC and CLICdp collaborations|title=The Compact Linear e<sup>+</sup>e<sup>−</sup> Collider (CLIC): Accelerator and Detector|class=physics.acc-ph|year=2018|last1=Robson|first1=A.|last2=Burrows|first2=P.N.|last3=Catalan Lasheras|first3=N.|last4=Linssen|first4=L.|last5=Petric|first5=M.|last6=Schulte|first6=D.|last7=Sicking|first7=E.|last8=Stapnes|first8=S.|last9=Wuensch|first9=W.}}</ref> 
The update of the ESPP is a community-wide process, which is expected to conclude in May 2020 with the publication of a strategy document.
