IPTA Science Meeting 2024
Haus Sexten, Sexten, Italy | 24 - 28 of June 2024
The IPTA meeting this year will open up to the astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics communities at large. The meeting will consist of four days of open sessions plus one ‘closed day’ dedicated to IPTA internal matters. During this day, non-IPTA participants will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Sexten, immersed in the iconic Dolomites.
Venue
The IPTA meeting 2024 will be organised by the Sexten Center of Astrophysics (SCfA) Riccardo Giacconi. SCfA offers the opportunity to meet in an informal environment and carry out collaborative work, surrounded by the spectacular view of the Dolomites. During the daytime the weather is expected to be mild with average temperature of around 22°C. Since we are in a mountainous area, the temperature in the evening can drop as low as 5°C.
The conference will be held at the spacious Congress Hall Haus Sexten:
