General Lab Information

Motivation

After decades of intense theoretical and experimental effort, a number of fundamental questions remain open in particle physics and cosmology. The BF2021 scientific program will aim to explore new conceptual frameworks and experimental methods that can help establish innovative approaches to addressing those questions and arriving at a deeper understanding of Nature, in the coming years. Talks will be arranged in both plenary and parallel sessions, on virtual platforms.

If you would like to present a parallel talk (15+5 minutes), you'll have a chance to provide a title or topic in the registration form. Further event notifications will be sent once plenary speakers are confirmed and parallel sessions are formulated. The final event agenda and URL will be sent to all registrants directly closer to the start of the event.
