Abstract：

Summer 2021 marks the start of the JUNO installation campaign after almost ten years of extensive preparation. With a large target mass of 20 kton liquid scintillator and an unprecedented energy resolution of 3% at 1 MeV, JUNO aims primarily to measure the neutrino mass ordering with a significance of 3-4 standard deviations after 6 years of data taking. Thanks to its great scale and precision, JUNO will be an exceptional multi-purpose detector with a rich physics program, which includes determining the lepton mixing parameters to the sub percent precision level similar to that of the quark sector, monitoring the MeV neutrino sky for transient phenomena such as core-collapse supernovae, and searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model. This talk will review the current status of JUNO, milestones of its civil construction, sub-system development, as well as dedicated efforts to maximize the physics potential of JUNO at various frontiers including low-threshold physics and multi-messenger astronomy.
