The IWM-EC 2024 is organized by INFN-Sezione di Catania, INFN-LNS and Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia "Ettore Majorana" of University of Catania. The workshop is supported by the CHIMERA and INDRA-FAZIA Collaborations.

The conference, along the tradition of the previous editions of the Torino workshop, will be focused on the physics and nucleosynthesis of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and on several related topics. Among others, the meeting will offer a valuable opportunity to discuss the status of the art of AGB, post-AGB, super AGB modelling, the role of these stars in the chemical evolution of the Milky Way and other galaxies, the possibilities offered by present and future observational facilities (such as JWST, VLT, LAMOST, ELT ecc.), the study of dust formation in the wind of evolved stars and the meteoritic stardust measurements, hot topics in the field of theoretical and nuclear astrophysics.

The scope of the workshop is to bring together researchers from a variety of research fields, to address the current issues, and to discuss the future directions by interdisciplinary approaches. The conference program will include a series of oral presentations and poster sessions.

The neutrino oscillation discovery was a breakthrough with an impact in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. While most of the mixing parameters are precisely measured, key open questions remain including the neutrino absolute mass and mass ordering, the neutrino nature, the existence of CP violation in the lepton sector, of non-standard interactions and of sterile neutrinos. While the majority of the available oscillation results are understandable by considering three active neutrinos only, some anomalies are actively debated. In parallel with the progress in our knowledge of neutrino properties important advances were made in cosmology and astrophysics. Among the open problems is neutrino flavor evolution in dense astrophysical media. In particular, recent theoretical studies of dense weakly interacting many-body neutrino systems in astrophysical environments uncovered novel connections to other domains including quantum computing. Moreover, the observation of ultra-high energy neutrinos opened a new window in neutrino astronomy; while the discovery of the diffuse supernova neutrino background is expected in the foreseeable future. The goal of the workshop is to create a collaborative and brainstorming atmosphere around key open issues at the neutrino frontiers. Neutrino 2024 will take place just before the GGI program that will happen at a very timely period when running experiments might deliver first results. Crossing results from Earth experiments, astrophysics and cosmology will be a major tool to push forward progress on crucial open issues at the frontiers.

Supernova explosions are a fascinating show of Nature. Over human timescales, they deliver huge amounts of energy and a wide variety of nuclear yields, thus contributing to the chemical enrichment of the Universe. In the last years, we have accumulated an enormous wealth of new observations, which come with significant progress in the theoretical modelling of these explosions. The increasing number of spatially resolved observations have opened the door to the three-dimensional nature of supernovae, and hence, an equally sophisticated theoretical and numerical modelling must account for the true dimensionality of these cataclysmic events. Understanding how a massive star explodes and how the explosion properties connect to the stellar progenitors opens new paths to probe stellar evolution theories. Disentangling from the properties of supernova remnants the explosion type and, even better, the properties of the exploding star is a road that pays off to transit. Understanding whether neutron stars, black holes or other more exotic objects are left as compact remnants witnessing the catastrophic end of massive stars has profound implications for the population of compact objects which are targets of the gravitational wave astronomy. Inferring the properties of the neutrinos emitted during the explosion is a must to interpret observations with the newest neutrino detectors.

In this symposium, we aim at connecting the latest observations of supernovae and supernova remnants (e.g., from Pan-STARRS, ASAS-SN, O4-cycle of the LVK collaboration, IceCube, Hyper-Kamiokande, ALMA, NuSTAR, etc.) with the forefront theoretical and numerical (3D) modelling of the explosion mechanism and, as well, to the late phases of stellar evolution.

Since their foundation in 1975, the Marcel Grossmann Meetings (on Recent Developments in Theoretical and Experimental General Relativity, Gravitation, and Relativistic Field Theories) provide opportunities for discussing recent advances in gravitation, general relativity, and relativistic field theories, emphasizing mathematical foundations, physical predictions, and experimental tests. The objective of the MG meetings is to elicit exchange among scientists that may deepen our understanding of spacetime structures and review the status of ongoing experiments aimed at testing Einstein's theory of gravitation, either from the ground or from space.

The 2nd edition of the International Conference on Machine Learning for Astrophysics (ML4ASTRO2) aims to unite leading researchers actively engaged in applying machine learning to astrophysical studies. Following the success of the first edition, this international conference is dedicated to exploring the challenges and opportunities presented by the impending Big Data era in astronomy. Focusing on the integration of ML/DL techniques with astrophysics, the event will showcase cutting-edge AI methodologies tailored for addressing key open problems in this field. Engaging discussions will revolve around the innovative application of AI models to observational and simulation data. We welcome submissions of abstracts for Oral Presentations or Poster Flash Talks encompassing a wide array of topics relevant to the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics.

The aim of the workshop is: to discuss Neutrino Oscillation Physics, in particular current experimental data and their theoretical interpretation; to outline future investigations of neutrino masses and mixings; and to explore the links with various research fields in Astroparticle Physics and Cosmology. The structure of the NOW 2024 Workshop will include four plenary and parallel sessions: I – Standard three-neutrino oscillations; II – Beyond the standard framework; III – Neutrino masses, states and interactions; IV – Particle physics from the sky and the cosmos; plus an extra (only plenary) session: Crossing the portal. Because of constraints in accommodation and to fulfill the workshop requirements, participation is by invitation, and is limited to about 115 participants.

The European Solar Physics Meetings (ESPM) are organised every three years by the board of the European Solar Physics Division (ESPD), a joint division of the European Physical Society (EPS) and the European Astronomical Society (EAS). The meetings bring together a large number of from Europe and beyond, who are active in the theoretical and observational study of solar phenomena. The 17th European Solar Physics Meeting (ESPM-17) will take place as a in-person meeting in the week of 9-13 September 2024, in the city of TURIN, ITALY.

Solar interior, sub-surface flows and long-term variability; Fundamental mechanisms of solar plasmas: magnetic reconnection, waves, radiation and particle acceleration; Energy and mass transfer throughout the solar atmosphere and structures within; Multi-scale energy release, flares and coronal mass ejections; Space weather and the solar-heliospheric connections; Diagnostic tools and numerical methods in solar physics.

The purpose of the meeting is to bring together experts and young researchers in the area of nuclear structure physics and nuclear astrophysics to discuss the current status of the field and to explore future directions, both in experiment and theory. With recent developments in instrumentation, theoretical tools and numerical simulations as well as significant progress in experiment and observation, the meeting is particularly timely. The aim is to cover a broad range of topics to elucidate synergies and identify areas of future progress. This should be especially beneficial to the younger participants of the meeting.
