The 8th International Conference on the Initial Stages in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions (Initial Stages 2025) will take place in Taipei, Taiwan, from September 7 to 12, 2025.
 


The initial Stages 2025 conference is organized by National Central University, MIT, RIKEN, and Nara Women's University. This conference will bring together experts to discuss the latest experimental results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The program will cover recent advancements in theoretical tools aimed at predicting and interpreting phenomena observed in experiments and plans for future experimental facilities, including the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) and Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR).
 
Key topics of focus will include:
 
  • Partonic structure of protons and nuclei 
  • Physics at low-x and gluon saturation   
  • The initial stages and nuclear structure in heavy-ion collisions 
  • Collective dynamics from small to large systems 
  • New theoretical techniques at large and small coupling 
  • New facilities: DIS and hadronic experiments
