Cover Story: After a very successful first edition of the Electronic Conference on Universe, the 2nd International Electronic Conference on Universe (ECU 2023) was held online from 16 February to 2 March 2023. It brought together major contributions at the forefront of research in the fields of gravitation, cosmology, field theory, high-energy physics, quantum mechanics, astrophysics and astronomy, etc. This internet conference was designed to allow scholars to present their research to colleagues and to interact as fully as possible with all those involved in it. ECU 2023 made the scholars’ presentations accessible to hundreds of researchers worldwide, with active engagement of the audience in question-and-answer sessions and discussion groups that took place online.
