The International Conference “Dark Matter and Stars: Multi-Messenger Probes of Dark Matter and Modified Gravity” aims to bring together scientists working across the different research fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and modified gravity. We want to look at the dark matter problem from different perspectives, considering it to be of particle nature, as well as modification of gravity. This meeting is intended to initiate cross-field discussions of dark matter searches, their current status, and future prospects.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
- Dark matter in compact stars (neutron stars, white dwarfs, exotic stars)
- Multi-messenger and gravitational wave probes of dark matter
- Models of dark matter
- Cosmology
- Modified gravity
We seek to encourage dialogue between different research groups to enhance collaboration and help to improve our understanding of dark matter. The conference is also planned to introduce the dark matter research field to encourage attendance by young scientists including Ph.D. students.
The meeting will be held at the Centro de Congressos, Center for Astrophysics and Gravitation, Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, Portugal.
PARTICIPANTS
Registration for the conference is free of charge. Maximum attendance is 120, to ensure all participants are comfortable and have ample opportunities to interact with one another. The selection of the final participant list is the responsibility of the organizing committee. Participants are chosen according to availability and conference goals, as explained above.
The ninth edition of the Future Circular Collider (FCC) Conference will take place in London, United Kingdom from 5 to 9 June 2023. The meeting brings together the international scientific community pursuing a feasibility study for a visionary post-LHC research infrastructure at CERN and is organized with the support of the EU-funded H2020 FCCIS project.
Leading experts from academia and industry will review the recent progress en route to the completion of the feasibility study in 2025 and set the near-term goals for the coming years. The physics opportunities opened by the FCC integrated programme as well as the status of key technology R&D programmes will be discussed along with the technological opportunities on offer for building new collaborative projects. The meeting is an excellent opportunity to reinforce the bonds between the FCC collaborating institutes and to draft the work plans for the submission of the FCC mid-term review to the CERN’s Council later this year.
The FCC Week 2023 will follow the traditional layout of plenary and parallel sessions covering all aspects of the study: physics, experiments, machine design, technologies, infrastructures and civil engineering. Monday features a set of plenary keynote presentations with top-ranking international speakers from the world of science, industry and European affairs, offering an overview about the ongoing activities across all parts of the study and serve to inform study members about the updated boundary conditions from placement studies, the latest machine parameters and progress on understanding the physics potential that the FCC integrated programme can offer during its lifetime. Parallel sessions will focus on specific areas. Satellite meetings for UK-related projects and for the governance bodies of the FCC study will be included in the programme that is being developed. Participation of industry is highly encouraged as addressing the technological challenges of a new research infrastructure presents opportunities for co-innovation.
The work carried out in the framework of the FCC Feasibility Study will inform the next update of the European Strategy and benefit society in areas beyond particle physics. We strongly encourage submission of proposals for posters via Indico on the FCCW2023 site. Oral contributions are by invitation.
The 2nd annual Commercialising Quantum Global will help senior business leaders to understand if and when they should adopt quantum technology.
Under the stewardship of editors from The Economist, at Commercialising Quantum, we will discuss how organisations can get the most out of quantum. The two-day agenda will cover the promise, the perils, the applications, the limitations, the hype and the reality of quantum.
The event will empower you to evaluate if and when you should invest in quantum technologies. The expected global recession in 2023 will force enterprises to make tough choices about where to invest. Does it make sense to capitalise on quantum technology today?
IPAC is the main international event for the worldwide particle accelerator field and industry. The IPAC’23 edition is jointly organized by the accelerator communities in Europe, Americas and Asia and is hosted by Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare and Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste. Attendees will learn about world-wide highlights in cutting-edge accelerator research and development, hear about new projects, gain the latest insights into accelerator facilities across the globe and, last not least, will have the opportunity to meet their peers and to make new business contacts. Over 1,200 delegates and 80 industry exhibitors are expected to attend this remarkable and noteworthy event. IPAC’23 will offer the most complete review on new ideas, important results and ground-breaking technologies in the field of particle accelerator science and technology. All this is in one week! An exceptional opportunity!
Post-conference tours will be organized to the physics laboratories of INFN-LNL and Elettra, equipped with modern hadron and electron accelerators.

The Flavor Physics and CP Violation (FPCP) conferences are intended for the exchange of new ideas, for presentation of the latest experimental and theoretical results in the areas included in the conference title, and for discussions about future projects in the field. The conference is open to all experimental and theoretical physicists interested in the field.
This conference series results from the merging of the Heavy Flavor Physics Conference and the International Conference on B Physics and CP Violation in 2002.
The LHCP conference series started in 2013 after a successful fusion of two international conferences, “Physics at Large Hadron Collider Conference” and “Hadron Collider Physics Symposium”. The programme will contain a detailed review of the latest experimental and theoretical results on collider physics, with many final results of the Large Hadron Collider Run-2, potentially a first glimpse of the upgraded accelerator and detector operation in Run-3, and discussions on further research directions within the high energy particle physics community, both in theory and experiment.
The main goal of the conference is to provide intense and lively discussions between experimenters and theorists in such research areas as the Standard Model Physics and Beyond, the Higgs Boson, Heavy Quark Physics and Heavy Ion Physics as well as to share recent progress in the high luminosity upgrades and future collider developments.
The main topics of the conference are:
- Gravitational waves detection from the coalescence of black holes and neutron star mergers
- Detection and analysis of gravitational waves in the era of multimessenger astronomy
- Strong field tests of General Relativity (Pulsars, Black holes,…)
- Quantum sensors
- Pulsar timing
- Fundamental physics with gravitational waves
- Tests of the equivalence principle
- Astrometry, solar system ephemerides and observational gravity tests
- Space geodesy, Earth and Planetary Gravity, Navigation
- Clocks, lasers and fundamental constants
- Tests of GR and alternative theories (CPT and Lorentz violation,…)
- Modified gravity theories
- Short range gravity and Casimir effect: classical, atom and neutron tests
- Long range gravity, dark matter, dark energy
- Cosmology, primordial black holes and gravitational waves
