The autumn edition of Accelerating News is now online. In this issue you can read about the first tests of the HL-LHC quadrupole magnets, an ARIES campaign for thermal characterisation of materials, and a novel method to measure the beam intensity in CERN's Antiproton Decelerator. Read also stories about the FCC conductor development programme and the first tests of the FCC-ee quadrupole magnets, reports about the ARIES muon collider workshop and the EVC-15 conference, and find out how summer accelerates learning.

Finally, read an interview with Robert-Jan Smits, one of the architects of the European Research Area, as Europe prepares the post-H2020 research and innovation framework.
