The lectures are primarily addressed to Ph.D. students in High Energy Particle and Astroparticle Physics. The aim of the school is to give a pedagogical introduction to the basic concepts and tools needed for research, covering the foundations of the subject at a deep and advanced level. The main topics include the Standard Model of Particle Physics and its extensions, Collider Physics, Quantum Field Theory and Cosmology.

The aim of the school is to bring together PhD students with interests in low-dimensional quantum field theory, conformal field theory and integrable models, and their applications to statistical mechanics and condensed matter systems, and to help them build a solid and specialized background on these topics. The school provides a range of postgraduate courses covering introductory topics as well as recent developments.

Recent progresses in the study of black hole perturbations have driven important developments into the understanding of their gravitational dynamics and their holographic dual strongly coupled systems. Further progress has also been made in understanding how dynamical gravity and bulk geometry emerge from strongly coupled systems. This yields the need for a platform where researchers of these fields can collaborate and share insights. This program aims to provide such a platform. A range of topics will be covered in this event, including black hole perturbations, boundary signatures of bulk geometry and conformal field theories at finite temperature.

The topic of this workshop is the “X17” particle, which existence has been claimed in a series of recent experiments. In the workshop, the current status of the new experimental research and the new advances of the theoretical studies about this hypothetical particle will be presented and discussed. The issue is of great interest, for the great impact on the study of the beyond standard model physics and fundamental symmetries. It would be the first confirmation of a “dark matter” particle, and the possible mediator of a fifth force. At present many theoreticians and experimental groups are studying this issue; the gathering of a number of them could have many positive outcomes, first of all to elucidate the matter, and to trigger new ideas and projects.

ITCP

ICTP's annual Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics provides pedagogical treatment of those subjects through lectures by some of the world's top string and quantum field theorists. The activity is intended for theoretical physicists or mathematicians with knowledge of quantum field theory, general relativity, and string theory.

The synthesis of heavy elements occurs through complex reactions in unstable nuclei in exotic astrophysical environments. Understanding this requires precise knowledge of the nuclei involved, which are often experimentally inaccessible and thus need to be studied theoretically. Substantial progress has been made in the reach and precision of nuclear structure and reaction theory, positioning the field to refine our knowledge of key nucleosynthesis reactions. This workshop will bring together experts in nuclear structure and reactions to focus on the interface of state-of-the-art nuclear structure and reaction theory. The key goal is to bring these communities together to target necessary developments for the prediction of processes relevant for nucleosynthesis in medium-mass and heavy nuclei, such as nucleon-capture reactions, electroweak transitions, and nuclear fusion and fission.

Describing the interaction between nucleons and understanding how nuclei behave at the extremes of stability are two major goals of modern nuclear theory. Electroweak responses in nuclei from the low-energy to quasi-elastic regimes provide a means to address these aims. The study of electromagnetic nuclear responses has a direct impact on understanding the correlations of nucleons inside halo systems, determining the slope of the symmetry energy, and illuminating the nature of short-range correlations in nuclei. Moreover, reliable predictions of electroweak responses are pivotal for fundamental symmetries research, and have direct implications for a deeper understanding of astrophysical phenomena. The main aims of the program will be to assess state-of-the-art ab initio frameworks to study nuclei and nuclear matter, to identify possible benchmarks of the available methods, and to determine how we can use our frameworks to consistently make inferences about the nature of the nuclear interaction from terrestrial experiments and astrophysical observations. To gain insight into how we can improve our methods, we will include experts studying the dynamics of other strongly-interacting quantum-systems; for instance, such as systems encountered in condensed-matter and atomic physics. Further, we will emphasize how we can use advances in AI/ML to improve our models and assess theoretical uncertainties, as well as discussing how quantum computing could allow us to study the dynamics of nuclei and nuclear matter.

The training week will offer an introductory program specifically designed for students and early-career researchers, with the aim of preparing participants who may not yet be experts on the topic for the main workshop. The school will focus on key cosmological observables relevant to the workshop, as well as methodologies for data analysis and statistical techniques used to compare theoretical models with observations. It will feature a combination of lectures, hands-on tutorials, and guided discussions. At the end of the week, students will also have the opportunity to present their own work and receive feedback from leading experts in the field. Dedicated discussion sessions will provide a valuable space for participants to engage with fellow researchers, ask questions, and potentially initiate new collaborations.

Lake Como School of Advanced Studies (LCSAS)

The Krome computational school (at its 6th edition) is designed to provide participants with an integrated foundation in the numerical, theoretical, and modeling approaches used to study star and planet formation. By covering the physical and chemical processes that operate from molecular clouds to mature planetary systems, the program emphasizes how modern computational techniques connect microphysical mechanisms with large-scale structure and evolution. Through lectures that span astrochemical modeling, radiation–thermochemical simulations, dust and gas dynamics, and advanced numerical methods, the school offers a coherent framework for understanding current challenges and frontiers in the field. This structure ensures that participants gain both conceptual grounding and practical experience with state-of-the-art tools, preparing them to contribute effectively to ongoing developments in computational astrophysics.

Neutron-star mergers and core-collapse supernovae are among the most promising sites for the synthesis of heavy elements in the universe. These astrophysical phenomena bring together a rich interplay of general relativity, neutrino physics, nuclear reactions, and magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD). Among these factors, magnetic fields are increasingly recognized as playing a pivotal role in shaping the dynamics and nucleosynthetic outcomes of these events. Recent observational breakthroughs, from the detection of gravitational waves (e.g., GW170817) with EM counterparts and increasingly detailed supernova spectra, demand a deeper theoretical understanding of how magnetic fields interact with nuclear physics and influence heavy-element nucleosynthesis. At the same time, simulations of these events now routinely include magnetic fields and detailed neutrino transport demonstrating the potential of magneto-rotational supernovae and neutron-star mergers to produce rich nucleosynthesis yields including the heaviest elements produced by the r-process and set the stage for GRB jets. Given all these recent developments we are at a critical moment to advance the field but there is a need for detailed discussions and interactions among nuclear physicists, astrophysicists, and computational modelers to address key open questions and make the most of the available observational datasets and computational resources. This workshop aims to bring these communities together.
