The Standard Model of particle physics is still lacking an understanding of the generation and nature of neutrino masses. A favorite theoretical scenario (the see-saw mechanism) is that both Dirac and Majorana mass terms are present, leading to the existence of heavy partners of the light neutrinos, presumably massive and nearly sterile. These heavy neutrinos can be searched for at high energy lepton colliders of very high luminosity, such as the Future electron-positron e+e- Circular Collider, FCC-ee (TLEP), presently studied within the Future Circular Collider design study at CERN, as a possible first step. A first look at sensitivities, both from neutrino counting and from direct search for heavy neutrino decay, are presented. The number of neutrinos should be measurable with a precision between 0.001 - 0.0004, while the direct search appears very promising due to the long lifetime of heavy neutrinos for small mixing angles. A sensitivity down to a heavy-light mixing of 10^{-12} is obtained, covering a large phase-space for heavy neutrino masses between 10 and 80 GeV/c2.

Low-scale seesaw with flavour and CP symmetries $\unicode{x2013}$ from colliders to leptogenesis
For four flavour-symmetry cases, this paper maps heavy-neutrino lifetimes, decay flavour ratios, and the parameter space where leptogenesis works and colliders can test it.

High-energy cLFV at $\mu$TRISTAN: HNL extensions of the Standard Model
In HNL extensions of the Standard Model, mu+e- collisions at muTRISTAN could discover e-tau and mu-tau charged lepton flavour violation with sensitivity orders of magnitude beyond low-energy experiments and FCC-ee.

Heavy Neutral Leptons without Prejudice
HL-LHC and FCC-ee can probe HNL Yukawa couplings down to y^2 near 10^-4 to 10^-6 depending on mass; at zero mixing, Higgs width precision is the strongest constraint and the two colliders have comparable reach.
