MDPI is excited to announce a special webinar in celebration of Dark Matter Day, which will take place on 31 October 2025. This event will explore the mystery of dark matter, which makes up 26.8% of the universe's mass and energy, yet remains largely unexplained. Along with dark energy, which drives the universe’s expansion, dark matter plays a crucial role in the cosmos. Join us as we explore the dark sector of the universe and discover how these insights could reshape our understanding of the cosmos’ structure and history.
Date: 31 October at 8:00 a.m. CET | 3:00 p.m. CST Asia

Upcoming Partner Conferences (2)

Zaragoza, Spain
The goal of the IDM conference is to present a comprehensive overview of the status of dark matter searches, covering theoretical and experimental perspectives across theories, candidates, and detection strategies while also providing insights into the technological advances in detection techniques that will impact the prospects of finding clues about the nature of dark matter.
IDM 2026 is scheduled as an in-person conference on 1–5 June 2026, and it will be held in Zaragoza, Spain, organized by the CAPA Institute.

Wrocław, Poland
Inaugurated in 1994 in Como, Italy, this series of conferences has become an important forum for scientists working on strong interactions, stimulating exchanges among theorists and experimentalists as well as across related fields.
The aim of the conference is to bring together people working on strong interactions from different approaches, ranging from lattice QCD to perturbative QCD, from models of the QCD vacuum to QCD phenomenology and experiments, and from effective theories to physics beyond the Standard Model.
The scope of the conference also includes the interface between QCD, nuclear physics and astrophysics, and the wider landscape of strongly coupled physics. In particular, the conference will focus on the fruitful interactions and mutual benefits between QCD and the physics of condensed matter and strongly correlated systems.
The seventeenth edition of this conference series will be held at the Grunwaldzki Campus of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poland, between June 29th and July 4th, 2026.
