The Science Day, a regional tradition for 21 years, drew 2,500 attendees from the Rhine-Main area. Among the various topics covered, Jan Michel conducted two informative workshops introducing students to elementary particles, the building blocks of our world.

During each session, the Working Area representatives gave an overview talk and Early Career Researchers shared new insights. Invited talks were delivered by Mattia Bulla (University of Ferrara), Beatriz Jurado (Le CNRS en Aquitaine), Brian Metzger (Columbia University), Milton Ruiz Meneses (University of Illinois/Universitat de València), and Nu Xu (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). In the evenings, an interactive Gong Show and poster session featured the latest research results, sparking engaging discussions. Attendees enjoyed socializing and networking opportunities during the ECR night.

The conference also addressed cross-sectional topics, including Research Data Management, Equal Opportunities, and Science Communication. The General Assembly provided members with updates on recent activities, finances, and organizational matters. Work Area 4 elected Gabriel Martínez-Pinedo as the new representative and Camilla Juul Hansen as deputy representative.

On the last day, awards were presented for outstanding ECR presentations. Daniel Schmitt won the award for Best Poster, Niklas Schild won the award for Best PhD Talk and Christine Collins (GSI) was awarded for the Best Postdoc Talk. Finally, Laura Sagunski received the newly created award for social commitment to equal opportunities. Congratulations!

The second annual conference was a fruitful and collaborative event. Notably, ELEMENTS demonstrated its commitment to inclusivity by providing child care services throughout the conference, ensuring that all parents could actively participate.

The aim of the School is to provide an overview of the CBM project, review of experimental data from RHIC, LHC and GSI experiments, to present current understanding of the physical phenomena relevant to the physics of nuclear matter at extreme conditions, as well as the theoretical expectations from the future experiments.

The goal of this interdisciplinary seminar will be to bring together a group of experts from different fields and approaches to understand the microphysics and macrophysics of kilonovae and how to use observations to learn about these exciting multimessenger events. It aims at starting and strengthening collaborations between atomic physics and astrophysics (atomic astrophysics) following the successful example of nuclear astrophysics.

Registration closes on 25 September 2022. You can find out more and apply here!
