1126 scientists arrived in Bologna from tens of countries to participate in the event, in person, 297 researchers joined the conference online from throughout the world and 943 pieces of research were presented, as well as 331 project posters. The conference was organised by INFN with its Bologna and Ferrara Divisions, together with the \u201cAugusto Righi\u201d Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Bologna and the Department of Physics and Earth Science of the University of Ferrara.
Many young people participated in the week of activities – researchers and PhD students – who presented their work on this important international stage to discuss it with colleagues from all over the world. Moreover, there was no shortage of illustrious guests and Nobel Prizes, like the Director General of CERN Fabiola Gianotti and the Nobel Prize winner for Physics Takaaki Kajita, stars of the plenary sessions.<\/p>\n
For over 70 years, ICHEP, which is held every two years in a different city, has been the top place for meeting and discussion in a community that works at the frontier of knowledge and technology: from particle physics and astroparticle physics, to cosmology, to innovative technologies with their applications. <\/p>\n
