Abstract The undersigned institutes intend to form a new CERN DRD collaboration to develop future electronic systems and technologies for particle physics detectors. While high-performance electronic systems are a key aspect of all future detector projects, the complexity and cost of the necessary developments are high and continue to increase. Delivery of new detectors will thus require a greater level of coordination and better ways of cooperative working within the field, and the new DRD7 collaboration will provide the platform to support this approach. The collaboration’s work will include development and demonstration of new hardware, firmware, and software concepts relevant to the requirements of medium- and long-term detector projects. It will also facilitate access to expertise, tools, and industry vendors in support of the entire DRD program, and will act as a focal point for development of future common standards and approaches.
