INFN-IBS Global Research Centre 2026 Bilateral Meeting

3 Nov 2026, 14:00 → 6 Nov 2026, 19:30 Europe/Rome

Room "E. Majorana" (LNGS)

Welcome to the second bilateral meeting between INFN (Italy) and IBS (South Korea)

The second bilateral meeting between INFN (Italy) and IBS (South Korea), held within the framework of the Global Research Center, is taking place this year at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS).

The meeting follows the first bilateral meeting, held in 2025 at the IBS headquarters in Daejeon. This second meeting provides a valuable opportunity for researchers from the two institutions to further strengthen their scientific collaboration and exchange expertise in the fields of low-background measurements, the development of low-background detectors, and research on neutrinos and dark matter.

The meeting will also foster the exchange of ideas and the identification of new opportunities for joint research activities and future collaboration between INFN and IBS.
