abstract = {Monte Carlo event generators (MCEGs) are the indispensable
workhorses of particle physics, bridging the gap between
theoretical ideas and first-principles calculations on the
one hand, and the complex detector signatures and data of
the experimental community on the other hand. All collider
physics experiments are dependent on simulated events by
MCEG codes such as Herwig, Pythia, Sherpa, POWHEG, and
$MG5_aMC@NLO$ to design and tune their detectors and
analysis strategies. The development of MCEGs is
overwhelmingly driven by a vibrant community of academics at
European Universities, who also train the next generations
of particle phenomenologists. The new challenges posed by
possible future collider-based experiments and the fact that
the first analyses at Run II of the LHC are now frequently
limited by theory uncertainties urge the community to invest
into further theoretical and technical improvements of these
essential tools. In this short contribution to the European
Strategy Update, we briefly review the state of the art, and
the further developments that will be needed to meet the
challenges of the next generation.},
