REF 2026: Resummation, Evolution, Factorization
REF 2026 is the 13th edition in the series of workshops on Resummation, Evolution and Factorization. The workshop brings together specialists in different areas, from effective field theory to lattice to QCD factorization methods. It will be held at the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, NW Spain). |

Seminar
A taste of neutrino physics
This talk will provide you a glimpse about the world of neutrinos -nearly massless "ghost particles", which are very abundant and everywhere. We trace their journey from the hearts of stars to cutting-edge labs in Japan, exploring the mind-bending theory of neutrino oscillations, where these particles change their type while traveling. We provide an overview of state-of-the-art detection facilities: the iconic Super-Kamiokande, the long-distance T2K experiment, and the future Hyper-Kamiokande, a detector so sensitive it could explain why the universe is made of matter instead of nothingness. Finally, we show how this "invisible" science helps society, from monitoring nuclear reactors to peering inside the Earth\'s core. |

29th European Cosmic Ray Symposium (ECRS 2026)
ECRS 2026 is the 29th in a series of European Cosmic Ray Symposia, which are held every 2 years in one of European countries. The main goal of the Symposia is to gather European Physics community performing research of cosmic rays and related fields, to present recent results, newly emerging ideas and forthcoming experiments. |

Conferencia
Data Science & Complexity in Fundamental Physics 2026
The Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE), a joint centre of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the Xunta de Galicia, will host, from 8 to 12 June, 2026, the conference ‘Data Science and Complexity in Fundamental Physics and the Bridge to the Industry and Society‘. The meeting aims to promote dialogue between academia and industry, as well as to highlight professional opportunities for people interested in data science and its applications to society and business. The meeting, consisting of a school for young researchers as well as a symposium with the participation of companies from a wide range of sectors, with data science as nexus, will be held for the second time in Santiago de Compostela after previous editions in Portugal (Lisbon, Braga and Coimbra). |

IGFAE Colloquia | Opening a New Window on the Extreme Universe with HERON
Ultra-high energy neutrinos are among the most elusive and informative messengers in the Universe. Produced in the same extreme environments that accelerate cosmic rays to energies far beyond those achievable on Earth, they travel vast cosmic distances undeflected by magnetic fields and largely unimpeded by matter or radiation. Detecting them would open a new window on the most energetic phenomena in nature and complete the picture of multi-messenger astronomy. In this colloquium, I will discuss the scientific motivation for exploring the ultra-high energy neutrino sky, the challenges involved in detecting these extraordinarily rare particles, and the opportunities they offer for identifying the sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays. I will also present the concept of the Hybrid Elevated Radio Observatory for Neutrinos (HERON), a next-generation instrument designed to achieve an order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity, sub-degree angular resolution, and wide sky coverage, enabling discovery potential beyond current observatories. |
