We have been made aware that registrants to our workshops could be getting phishing emails coming from an address containing the word "travellerpoint" and with a subject containing "pending payment" or "accommodation".

We have been updating indico to version 3.2.3 which contained some security patches, and are currently investigating how/where these emails originate. 

Meanwhile please do not reply to these and/or similar emails and/or click on any of the provided link. Instead, delete them. 

During this week we are going to update the ECT* indico server to version 3.2.2 (we are currently running on 3.1). As a result, you might experience downtimes, which we will try anyway to limit to the bare minimum. 

Yesterday we've got a failure of our indico server due to our hard-disk becoming completely filled.

We have increased the disk space, but we would like to ask organisers not to load talks' recordings (mp4 files ) as material. This will help us in keeping the server hard disk space under control and avoid possible future server failures. 

We are preparing the phasing out of Eventbrite for registering to ECT* workshop. At some point in the not so far future the entire registration procedure will be handled entirely by Indico.

We will also handle through Indico the registration procedure for attending online ECT* seminars, which was until now carried out by means of a Google form (which however cannot be accessed in many countries).

We have completed a migration of ECT* Indico server from v2.3 to v3.1. You might experience some instabilities while we complete the set-up all services and give the final touches to the look and feel of the displayed pages.

This said, if you notice any problem please contact staff@ectstar.eu

We welcome proposals for projects to be run at ECT* in 2023. Projects can be workshops or collaboration meetings. Other formats can be proposed and will be evaluated by the Board on a case-by-case basis. Decisions on approvals will be made at the June Board meeting. Therefore, proposals should arrive before May 20th, 2022.

The topics of the planned activities should be in line with the main scientific interests of ECT*, i.e. Nuclear Physics in a broad sense. This involves low-energy Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Structure, Quantum Chromodynamics, Hadron Physics, Physics of Matter under Extreme Conditions, Ultra-Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions. Related areas of research include topics in Astrophysics, Particle Physics, Condensed Matter Physics and Many-Body Theory, Methods of Field Theory, Physics of Ultra-Cold Atomic Gases, Machine Learning and Quantum Information/Technology .

You can apply online here.

The 2022 workshops will take place as hybrid meetings with limited on-site participation, provided that the pandemic situation permits this. Currently it is determined that guests that are allowed to enter into Italian territory as indicated on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shall be subject to the rules provided for by current national legislation (COVID-19 green certification in force as of December 6, 2021, referred to as “Green Pass Rafforzato” or “Super Green Pass”), namely only those in possession of a valid Super Green Pass or equivalent attestable status will be admitted to attend in-person events. Those that are not admitted to in-person attendance will be able to participate remotely. For more details, please see “participant information“.
