EPJ Web of Conferences Highlight - ConfXV: XVth Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum Conference

More than 230 participants from 31 countries attended ConfXV at the University of Stavanger in August 2022.

Emerging from the pandemic, it was a pleasure to host the 15th edition of the Quark Confinement and the Hadron spectrum conference as in-person event at the University of Stavanger in August 2022.

This conference series has become an important forum for scientists working on the strong nuclear interactions, stimulating exchange among theorists and experimentalists from various fields.

With more than 230 participants from 31 countries and around 200 contributions the research community maintains its vibrancy over the challenging past two years (see also the virtual edition vConf21 hosted by the University of Stavanger). Using the latest scientific data on aerosol transmission the organizers put a strong emphasis on providing a safe conference environment for our participants, allowing them to focus fully on the state-of-the-art physics contributions presented at the event.
