Colliders have been at the forefront of scientic discoveries in high-energy particle physics since the inception of the colliding beams method in the middle of the 20th century. The field of accelerators is very dynamic and many innovative concepts are currently being considered such future facilities as Higgs factories and energy frontier colliders beyond the LHC. Here we briefly overview leading proposals and studies towards the next generation colliders and discuss their major challenges as well as directions of corresponding accelerator R and D programs needed to address their cost and performance risks.
