Title: "NUCLEUS & CEvNS: Measuring reactor neutrinos with cryogenic detectors."
Abstract: "Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) is an interaction well predicted by the Standard Model. Its large cross-section allows to study neutrinos with relatively small detectors. Precision measurement of the CEvNS cross-section is a way to study neutrino properties and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The NUCLEUS experiment aims to detect and characterize CEvNS using reactor neutrinos, in an ultra-low background environment. The experiment will be installed between two 4.25 GW reactor cores at the Chooz-B nuclear power plant in France. The experiment is currently under commissioning and all the detectors are being characterized. NUCLEUS will provide important insights into neutrino physics and potential new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, an overview of CEvNS and NUCLEUS will be presented as well as the first characterization of the NUCLEUS detectors via calibrated nuclear recoils."

Title: "Hunting neutrinos under the sea."
Abstract: ""Tous pour un, un pour tous". There's no motto that better summarizes the leitmotiv of multi-messenger astronomy, whose aim is trying to identify astrophysical sources by combining information from different messengers: gamma rays, cosmic rays, neutrinos and gravitational waves. KM3NeT is a multi-site neutrino telescope under construction in the depth of the Mediterranean Sea. In November 2022, it started playing a crucial role in the multi-messenger community, thanks to the development of a software architecture that can quickly process events occurring in the detector and automatically perform follow-up analyses whenever an interesting external alert is received."
