This conference is organized in the framework of the John Templeton Foundation financed project:
"Hunt for the "impossible atoms": the quest for a tiny violation of the Pauli Exclusion Principle. Implications for physics, cosmology and philosophy", being the concluding event, and is supported by the Museo Storico della Fisica e Centro Studi e Ricerche Enrico Fermi, Roma and by INFN.

The main aim of the conference is to discuss the theoretical, philosophical and experimental aspects of the spin-statistics connection and its possible violation & related items (CPT and Lorentz symmetry violation; cosmological implications; identity versus indistinguishable etc.). Expert scientists and philosophers will give lectures on spin-statistics and spin-statistics violation  and on theories beyond the "standard" quantum mechanics, with an overview of hottest topics in these sectors.
