I will introduce the C-EAGLE project, new high-resolution simulations of 30 galaxy clusters and their environments, run with the state-of-the-art EAGLE galaxy formation model. The simulations, incorporating the Hydrangea sample, follow the evolution of dark matter, galaxies and gas out as far as ten virial radii, allowing environmental effects on the galaxy population to be studied in detail. They also follow stellar and AGN feedback processes, allowing us to also study the non-gravitational heating and chemical enrichment of the hot intra-cluster gas. By focusing on both the galaxies and hot gas properties, comparing to observational data wherever possible, I will present results that demonstrate the successes and failures of the current C-EAGLE simulations.
