The workshop “Light Frontiers: Technological and Physical Limits in Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics” is designed as a premier educational and scientific experience, aiming to provide undergraduate and graduate students with concrete guidance for their research careers while fostering a collaborative environment for professional exchange. This edition focuses on light as both the ultimate messenger and a fundamental boundary of physical reality, exploring the delicate threshold where theoretical physics transforms into technological innovation. The scientific program will delve into the most complex territories of modern physics, ranging from the investigation of black holes and photon behavior near the event horizon to the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This interdisciplinary journey bridges the gap between astrophysics and nuclear physics by analyzing various particle detection technologies.

Beyond the seminars, the event features a dedicated poster session to encourage peer-to-peer exchange among young researchers, emphasizing the importance of outreach and scientific communication. A central outreach component engages secondary school students through hands-on experiments and the use of professional telescopes. Guided by experts, students will interact directly with optical and nuclear physics phenomena, moving beyond theory to master the scientific method and develop critical thinking skills.In alignment with the core values of the international scientific community, the initiative actively promotes inclusivity and gender equality, ensuring an equitable and stimulating environment for all participants. By combining academic rigor with active engagement strategies, the workshop aims to inspire the next generation of scientists, ultimately strengthening the bond between established academia and the young minds shaping the future of physics.

In the poster session, those who wish can present their research activity and/or a scientific essay related to the theme of light and the topics of the workshop. (for information, visit the “Call of Abstract” page).

For all those who will participate in the workshop, registration is recommended through the homonymous section “Registration“.
