23.06–24.06.2025: Beyond Flavour Physics
The main goal of the event is to discuss new ideas and research directions in Higgs and top physics, as well as to explore potential flavor studies at future colliders. Another focus will be the interplay between high-energy physics and quantum information theory. Alongside the scientific presentations, we expect active discussions on these topics to foster new collaborations with the research groups in Siegen, especially in preparation for the third funding period of the CRC.

21.07–23.07.2025: P3H Young Scientists Meeting
The Young Scientists Meeting is a 2.5 days meeting for all members of the Collaborative Research Center TRR 257. The scientific talks will be presented by early career scientists (PhD students or PostDocs) and they will focus on the various projects of our CRC. This will give all participants the opportunity to get updated about progress in these projects. It also allows the speakers to present their research in front of a large audience. More information can be found here.
