Dual-readout calorimetry is now a mature and well-known technology which guarantees excellent electromagnetic and hadronic resolution in the same detector. It has recently being proposed in the framework of IDEA (Innovative Detector for Electron–Positron Accelerators) for both Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) and Circular Electron–Positron Collider (CEPC). After being extensively tested on prototypes, the dual-readout calorimetry is now moving toward a technology design study in order to be realistically available for an experiment. In this context, a full simulation of the calorimeter has been developed and used to estimate the expected performance of the detector. At the same time, the development of a novel technique for mass production of the detector modules, at an effective cost, is ongoing. As a first step, an electromagnetic-size prototype is under construction for a testbeam data taking originally foreseen in November 2020 and now moved to spring 2021, due to the Covid-19 pandemic spread.
