It is our great pleasure to invite you to attend the 16th France China Particle Physics Network/Laboratory workshop (FCPPN/L 2025) to be held at Shandong University (Qingdao), Qingdao, China, on 21-25 July 2025. We warmly welcome you to attend the workshop and give an excellent talk.
The France China Particle Physics Laboratory (FCPPL) was established according to the agreement between CAS, CNRS and CEA in April 2007. The aim of the joint laboratory is to promote the cooperation between France and China in particle and astroparticle physics. Following its creation in 2007, cooperation programs have been set up and funded through this laboratory.
In 2024, FCPPL evolved into FCPPN/L, an International Research Network (IRN) combined to an International Research Lab (IRL) hosted on the IHEP Campus in Beijing: a new combined Research Collaborative Structure gathering a community of some 460 physicists and engineers from 18 CNRS joint research units with 14 French universities and Engineering Schools on the French side, and CAS (IHEP, NAOC, PMO, USTC, UCAS) and 23 universities on the Chinese side.
The research fields relevant to the FCPPN project have a broad spectrum and cover: Particle Physics, Neutrino Physics, Astroparticle Physics and High Energy Astrophysics, Cosmology, Accelerator Physics, together with Theoretical Physics and accelerator/detector/computing related technologies to participate in collaborative efforts to better understand the physics of our Universe.
The IRN allows the partners to work together with the best research infrastructures in our fields, to name just a few: LHC experiments at CERN, KM3NeT in France and Italy, LSM (Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane) in France; JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory), CJPL (China Jinping Underground Laboratory), LHAASO and GRANDE in China; SVOM a common Franco-Chinese space mission, and so on.
The main purpose of the 16th workshop is to present, review and discuss the various ongoing and future activities performed by Chinese and French scientists within the FCPPN/L framework. This workshop will foster and reinforce our basis of research and exchanges for further cooperation.
Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you in Qingdao.
With best regards,
The Local Organization Committee (FCPPN/L 2025)
