EPJ Web of Conferences Highlight – SQM 2024 - The 21st International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter

21st edition of the international conference SQM 2024 in Strasbourg, France.

The international conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter took place from 3 to 7 June, 2024, in Strasbourg, France.

This 2024 edition marked the 21st in the series and was held in France for the first time. It was also the first fully “in-person” edition since the pandemic. A total of 280 participants from 26 countries convened at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès in Strasbourg to discuss recent experimental and theoretical advancements during a week-long programme including 210 oral and poster presentations.

The focus of the Strangeness in Quark Matter Conference is on the role of the strange and heavy-flavour quarks in the field of ultra–relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions, Quark Gluon Plasma physics and in astrophysical phenomena. Specific time is devoted to open questions and new developments as well as lectures dedicated to graduate students and young scientists.
