Description

First Conference of the SHARP COST Action: "Structure and Spectroscopy of Hadrons Research Project" (CA24159).

The first morning is devoted to the in-person meetings of the working groups. The conference starts after lunch, with an overview of the Action, followed by a session devoted to the scientific communication plan. In the second day and on the morning of the third day, topical sessions organized by each working group will provide insight on the new ideas and lines of work to be explored by each WG. A first discussion on the strategies to expand the network and a second one on the contents of the future SHARP training schools will close the conference.

The afternoon of the third day is devoted to the SHARP Management Committee meeting, and the meetings of the Communication Team and of the Grants Awarding Team. 

In the evening of the third and on the fourth day, the Spectroscopy group has a major activity planned: the spectroscopy hackathon. This satellite event is for members of WG2 and their guests only.
