Abstract Feasibility studies underway for the upgrade of luminosity and energy of the LHC indicate the need for intensifying the R&D on long, accelerator-type magnets that target the highest possible fields. The major technological aspects of such magnets will be presented, together with the expected physical limits, some envisaged solutions and open questions. Ongoing programmes to reach for the maximum practical operational fields will be reviewed. The report will conclude with a tentative analysis of the cost issues related to the use of proposed new materials and technologies.
