Abstract
The current Inner Detector in the ATLAS experiment does not meet the requirements of the High Luminosity-LHC upgrade. A new detector, known as the Inner Tracker, will be built in place of the current Inner Detector and will consist exclusively of silicon based sensors, pixels and strips. This contribution summarizes the on-going R&D activities within the different institutes involved in the phase II upgrade of the Strip Tracker. An update on the current status of testing and prototyping is given as well as the next steps before the submission of the ITk Strips Technical Design Report by the end of 2016.

Summary
NIKHEF Sciencepark 105, Amsterdam, The Netherlands CERN, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland. : The current Inner Detector in the ATLAS experiment does not meet the requirements of the High Luminosity-LHC upgrade. A new detector, known as the Inner Tracker, will be built in place of the current Inner Detector and will consist exclusively of silicon based sensors, pixels and strips. This contribution summarizes the on-going R&D activities within the different institutes involved in the phase II upgrade of the Strip Tracker. Four options are considered that are mainly focused on the layout optimization of the Pixel Tracker. All four options propose the same layout for the Strip Tracker. The Strip Tracker includes a Barrel section in the center and an Endcap section at each side.
