Scientific meetings organized by CAC

Regular

Petnica Summer Institute is organised every summer in Petnica Science Center, Serbia and it covers wide range of topics in theoretical physics and astrophysics. One of the main objectives of PSI is to bring together young students of physics and astronomy from the region of Balkans and give them an opportunity to meet each other and together learn about recent developments in theoretical (astro)physics from their senior colleagues from all around the world. PSI events organized so far are:

  • Summer School on Cosmology, 2013
  • Summer School on Elementary Particle Physics, 2014
  • Summer School on Astrophysics and Astroparticles, 2015
  • Summer School on General Relativity, 2016
  • Summer School on Cosmology, 2017
  • Summer SChool on High Energy Physics, 2018

Time and Matter Conferences

The primary aim of the Time and Matter conference series was to provide a meeting place for ideas from various fields of physics and philosophy that are committed to a study of the concepts of time and matter. With the experimental advances in collider-based particle physics, both at the energy and at the luminosity frontier, we entered a renaissance for new physics searches at microscopic scales with both direct searches for new particles and rare decay modes and indirect searches for physics beyond the standard model through precision measurements of its parameters. The events between 2007-2013 were organized by professor Samo Stanič. Proceedings:
