The latest measurement of the muon g-2 announced at Fermilab exhibits a large discrepancy from the currently accepted Standard Model prediction. The primary source of uncertainty on the theoretical value is represented by the leading order hadronic contribution (a_HLO), traditionally determined through a data-driven dispersive approach. An independent crosscheck of a_HLO is essential to understand this tension and consolidate the theoretical prediction.

The MUonE experiment proposes a novel approach to determine a_HLO by measuring the running of the electromagnetic coupling constant via muon-electron elastic scattering in the space-like region. The measurement will be performed using a 160 GeV muon beam at CERN . The experimental principle, hardware and software developments and the status of the test runs will be introduced in this talk.
