The Bonaudi-Chiavassa International School on Particle Detectors (also known by its initial name Giornate di Studio sui Rivelatori) is usually held in Cogne (Italy), but this year we are heading abroad for a change!
The XXXIV edition will take place from June 29th to July 3rd, 2026, in Vienna (Austria).
The School is organised by Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Università di Torino, the Atominstitut of the Technische Universität Wien and the Marietta Blau Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Vienna and Associazione per gli Scambi Scientifici Austria Italia.
The lectures will take place at the Atominstitut, Stadionallee 2, Vienna (Austria).
Please visit the HOW TO GET THERE tab for details.
Registration opens February 17th, 2026. Please go to the REGISTRATION tab for details.
