The second “European AI for Fundamental Physics Conference” (EuCAIFCon) will be held in Cagliari, from 16 Jyne to 20 June 2025. The aim of this event is to provide a platform for establishing new connections between AI activities across various branches of fundamental physics, by bringing together researchers that face similar challenges and/or use similar AI solutions. The conference will be organized “horizontally”: sessions are centered on specific AI methods and themes, while being cross-disciplinary regarding the scientific questions.

EuCAIFCon 2025 is organised by EuCAIF

which is a JENA activity.

Important dates:

• Opening abstract submission (Fri, 10 Jan 2025) [postponed from 6 Jan]
• Opening registration (Mon, 3 Feb 2025)
• Closing extended abstract submission (Mon, 24 Feb 2025) [previously Sun, 16 Feb 2025]
• Abstract acceptance notification (Sun, 9 Mar 2025) [previously Fri, 28 Feb 2025]
• Closing early bird registration (Mon, 31 Mar 2025)
• Closing registration (Sat, 31 May 2025)
• Conference (Mon-Fri, 16-20 June 2025)
