### Ghent event surveys future of the field

High-energy physics had one eye trained on the future at EPS-HEP 2019.

### Winners of 2019 Beamline for Schools competition

A Dutch team will compare electron and positron showers, while a US team will study the properties of scintillators.

### Building Balkan bridges in theory

Broader European support is vital to preserve and build capacity in fundamental physics in the region of former Yugoslavia and the Balkans, argues Goran Djordjevic.

### Particle physics meets gravity in the Austrian Alps

The meeting was sponsored by the Humboldt Foundation, based in Bonn, whose mission is to promote cooperation between scientists in Germany and elsewhere.

### Study comes full EuroCirCol

The meeting marked the final event of the Horizon 2020 project to produce a conceptual design study for a 100 TeV circular hadron collider.

### Quark-matter mysteries on the run in Bari

Among the highlights at Strangeness in Quark Matter 2019 were reports on where strangeness enhancement is localised in phase space.

### Between desert and swampland

Planck 2019 focused on the latest in beyond the Standard Model (SM) physics and ultraviolet completions of the SM within theories that unify the fundamental interactions.

### Muon g−2 collaboration prepares for first results

Fermilab's E989 experiment aims to improve experimental errors by a factor of four.

### Interdisciplinary physics at the AEDGE

Cold-atom interferometry could fill a gap in observational capability for gravitational waves in the intermediate-frequency band.

The $3 million prize will be shared equally between 347 researchers who were co-authors of the six papers published by the EHT collaboration on 10 April. ### ICTP announces next director Atish Dabholkar succeeds Fernando Quevedo. ### Guido Altarelli Award 2019 Jonathan Gaunt was recognised for contributions to parton scattering, and Josh Bendavid for his contributions to Higgs physics and parton density functions. ### 2019 Dirac Medal and Prize Viatcheslav Mukhanov, Alexei Starobinsky and Rashid Sunyaev share the prize for work on the physics of the cosmic microwave background. ### Julius Wess Award 2018 Sally Dawson of Brookhaven National Laboratory has been recognised for her outstanding contributions to the theoretical description of processes at hadron colliders. ### Supergravity pioneers share$3m Breakthrough Prize

Marriage of supersymmetry and general relativity continues to impact theoretical physics.
