14th Cosmic-Ray International Studies and Multi-messenger Astroparticle Conference, July 13-17 2026, Sorrento
The 14th CRIS-MAC Conference will be held in Sorrento from 13 to 17 July 2026.
The Conference is jointly organized by the Department of Physics and Astronomy “E. Majorana” of the University of Catania, and by the Department of Physics and Chemistry “E. Segrè” of the University of Palermo and the Department of Physics “E. Pancini” of the University of Napoli Federico II and by the Catania and Napoli Divisions of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).
As in previous CRIS editions, the conference will focus on fundamental topics in astroparticle physics with special emphasis on the multi-messenger astronomy studies. For this reason the conference acronym has been changed to CRIS-MAC (Cosmic-Ray International Studies and Multi-messenger Astroparticle Conference) while retaining the old CRIS series numbering.
The main focus of the CRIS-MAC conference is the multi messenger aspects of astroparticle physics which naturally includes fields such as cosmic-ray physics, gamma-ray and multi-wavelength astronomy, astrophysical neutrinos and gravitational waves.
The program includes invited lectures, contributed talks, posters and flash talks.
As in the past, the CRIS-MAC 2026 is addressed to scientists in the field as well as to PhD and graduate students. We will encourage lively and informal discussions among participants.

Quantum Universe 2025, October 27-31, 2025 in Avellino
The conference aims to bring together researchers from particle physics, gravitational physics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Modern physics faces several unresolved issues, from puzzles in theoretical particle physics (e.g. hierarchy problem, Grand Unification) to experimental anomalies (e.g. muon g-2, neutron lifetime), and questions surrounding dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. These branches are more interconnected than ever, with breakthroughs in one area often providing solutions in others. The conference will offer a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing experts to share insights across these fields.
Proceedings of QU2025 will be published in International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics (IJGMMP)
The event will take place in Avellino at the Borbonic Prison, a significant historical and architectural landmark in the city center. Built in the early 19th century during the Bourbon rule, the structure reflects neoclassical design principles and has served various functions over time, preserving its historical essence.
The conference fee is €350, which includes a welcome aperitif, lunches, a welcome kit, the social dinner, and the proceedings. This reduced fee is available until July 31. After this date, registration will still be possible, but the fee will increase to €450.
Avellino
Nestled in the heart of the Campania region, Avellino is a city of rich historical and cultural significance, surrounded by the rolling hills of Irpinia. Known for its deep-rooted traditions and vibrant local identity, Avellino blends historical heritage with a dynamic modern character. The city’s historic center features notable landmarks such as the 12th-century Clock Tower and the neoclassical Cathedral of the Assumption.
Avellino is also a gateway to the scenic landscapes and renowned wineries of Irpinia, a region celebrated for its fine wines, including Taurasi, Greco di Tufo, and Fiano di Avellino. Its proximity to important cultural and archaeological sites, such as Benevento and Salerno, enhances its appeal as a destination. With its rich gastronomy, strong artisan traditions, and lively cultural scene, Avellino offers a unique combination of history, nature, and enogastronomic excellence in southern Italy.

3rd TVLBAI Workshop, August 20-22, 2025 in Hannover
The 3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions and
communities, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards Funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.
In this third iteration of the TVLBAI workshop, we are gathering in Hannover,
providing an opportunity to visit the newly established and now operational 10m
VLBAI facility. In addition to the VLBAI visits, we are offering lab tours within the
Institute of Quantum Optics and the Einstein Elevator.
Building on the success of the last two editions, this workshop will cultivate a
strong sense of community among participants. It will help to establish a
supportive network of experts and enthusiasts ready to advance the field of atom
interferometry from all over the world.

SN2025gw: First IGWN Symposium on Core Collapse Supernova Gravitational Wave Theory and Detection, July 21-25 2025, Warsaw
The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration invites the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) astronomy and astrophysics community for a 5-day Symposium on July 21–25, 2025, at the University of Warsaw, Poland. CCSNe are among the most violent explosions known to occur in the Universe, and the next Galactic or near-extra-Galactic exploding massive star will be one of the most interesting, and most important, astronomical events of the century. This Symposium aims to bring CCSN experts together to address how to maximize the scientific potential of the first detection of core collapse supernova gravitational waves (GWs). The Symposium hopes to bring together GW astronomers and CCSN modelers, as well as neutrino and nuclear theorists, neutrino astronomers, and astronomers across the electromagnetic spectrum.
The sensitivity of GW detectors and progress on CCSN modeling are unprecedented, and we expect them to further advance in the coming years. A joint effort across communities has great potential to fully utilize these advances for CCSN GW discovery. Each day, we will host (before lunch) a set of lectures on one of the key topics listed below, to establish a common understanding and a common language. Moreover, each day (after lunch) will also include invited and contributed talks, as well as discussion. The focus topics of the Symposium are:
Day 1: CCSN Theory
Day 2: CCSN Gravitational Wave Detection and Parameter Estimation
Day 3: CCSN Neutrino Detection
Day 4: CCSNe across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Day 5: CCSNe over the Next Ten Years
The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a special issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity. We hope the proceedings will serve as a reference for students, postdocs, and faculty in, or entering, the field, serve to capture the current state of core collapse supernova gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics, outline lessons learned, and provide recommendations for future development.
Everyone who wishes to advance the field of CCSN GW science is welcome!
Quantum Gravity 2025, July 21-25, Penn State University
This conference, held at Penn State University located in State College Pennsylvania from July 21 until July 25 2025, aims to bring together researchers from all approaches to quantum gravity working on the full range from general conceptual aspects to potential phenomenological implications, as well as adjacent fields such as cosmology, quantum field theory and quantum information. The meeting will provide a platform for discussions of the main open questions currently driving the research field in an open and constructive format. In the long term, the goal is to work towards combining the lessons learned within various complementary approaches followed by the general field.
