This edition will also mark the 40th anniversary since the first workshop was held, celebrating four decades of scientific exchange and collaboration.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
- Astrophysics/Cosmology
- Astrophysics/Gravity
- Dark Matter & Dark Energy
- Particle Physics
- Cosmic Rays
- Gamma/Neutrino Astronomy
- Future Prospects
The scientific program will include 25-minute review talks to introduce the current problems giving new experimental and theoretical results.
