Invisibles25 Workshop

1 Sept 2025, 09:00 → 5 Sept 2025, 17:00 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

Valerie Domcke (CERN)

The Invisibles Workshop 2025 will take place at CERN from September 1st to September 5th, 2025. 

The Invisibles25 Workshop aims at a broad audience working in the areas of neutrino, dark matter, astroparticle physics, cosmology. It is organized by the Horizon Europe Programme Marie Curie Staff Exchange ASYMMETRY, and it continues the series of “Invisibles” events started in 2012 (Horizon 2020 Marie Curie ITN networks Invisibles, Elusives, and Hidden and Horizon 2020 RISE network InvisiblesPlus).

Topics include:

• Hidden Symmetries and Particles

• Visible and Hidden Asymmetries 

• Neutrinos

• Dark Matter

• Beyond the Standard Model

• Cosmology

We welcome abstract submission for contributions to the Young Scientist Forum and the poster session.

For in-person participants, a workshop fee of 300 CHF (200 CHF for students) will cover coffee breaks and social events. Online participation is free.

ASYMMETRY is a European Staff exchange program (HE-MSCA-SE-2022//101086085) investigating the essential asymmetries of Nature and CP violation in particle physics and cosmology. It has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges (SE) grant agreement No 101086085-ASYMMETRY”.
