This will be the second in the series of workshops which aims to organise the Indian high energy and nuclear physics community around the EIC. The first was held in 2020 at IIT Bombay. With the recent forming of the ePIC collaboration, and as the EIC project approaches CD-2/3A, this will be a crucial meeting for solidifying and enhancing the participation and contributions of the Indian high energy and nuclear physics community in the EIC project. The Indian participation in the EIC now has 29 institutes and 63 members and is growing continually. EIC also finds a prominent place in India's soon to be released long-range planning document Mega Science Vision (MSV) 2035.
The Indian community has been actively involved with the ATHENA-EOI preparation and made significant contributions to the ongoing consolidation of EIC software and benchmarking. India has many institutes that potentially can participate in building ePIC detector components, such as PID, and has many theorists and phenomenologists who have a long history of keen interest in EIC physics. The EIC India group holds regular biweekly online meetings, this workshop will be an opportunity to meet in person again.
The workshop will be designed as three days of plenaries on the EIC Project and the ePIC detector with speakers from US, India and other collaborating nations, with plenty of room for discussions. One of the outcomes of this meeting is to arrive at a joint proposal from all Indian institutes for funding by Indian agencies for participation in EIC.
