Joint Annual Meeting 2025

Conference Poster Vienna 2025

The next annual meeting will be organised, as every two years, jointly with the Austrian Physical Society (ÖPG). It will take place at the University of Vienna, in the main building from 18 - 22 August 2025.

The conference will open this year on Monday, 18 August with several satellite events. The morning is dedicated to an Energy Day. Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, newly elected president of EPFL, will give a plenary talk there.

In the afternoon we will continue with the 4th edition of the Women in Physics Career Symposium, with plenary speaker Francesca Primas, ESO, and a symposium acknowledging Wolfgang Pauli and Erwin Schrödinger: 100 years of Quantum Physics. The General Assemblies of both societies will follow, and an evening talk given by Thomas Feurer, Universität Bern, currently Managing Director of the European XFEL GmbH, will close the day. A second public lecture by Claus Beisbart, Universität Bern, is scheduled on Tuesday evening.

From Tuesday to Friday, renowned speakers will address latest advancements in different research fields in the plenary sessions, while the parallel sessions will allow in-depth discussions in several topical fields. A poster session on Wednesday will complement the scientific program. A special symposium on ERC Funding in Quantum Science is interwoven with the program on Wednesday.

The Swiss Institute for Particle Physics (CHIPP), the SFB BeyondC and the Association of ERC Grantees (AERG) will again contribute to the program. Thanks to all these collaborations, our annual meeting will offer again an exciting program, covering latest advancements of physics in a wide range of fields at its best.
