Experiments at the ILC linear collider: expected physical results

The current status of the International Linear $\rm e^{+}\rm e^{-}$ Collider project (ILC) planned in Japan is presented. The physical research program proposed at the ILC is discussed, with special attention on the measurements that are possible at a collision energy of 250 GeV and expected statistics of $\sim 2\ $ab$^{-1}$. These parameters are planned at the first stage of the construction of the collider, where the proposed center-of-mass energy will be limited to 250 GeV. The technical characteristics of the ILC accelerator facility and planned International Large Detector (ILD) are briefly reported.
