The second edition of the ePIC and EIC Physics Readiness Workshop took place from March 17 to 19, at the University of Calabria. The purpose of the meeting was to prepare the physics studies to be conducted during the first five years of operation of the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Approximately 40 people attended the meeting at the University of Calabria, including the spokespersons and the physics analysis coordinators as well as E. Aschenauer for the EIC/Detector Project. Another ~60 collaborators followed the proceedings via videoconference. During the meeting a first feedback from the referees on a draft of the…

The January 2025 meeting of the ePIC Collaboration will take place at Villa Mondragone, the Conference Center of University of Rome Tor Vergata, from January 20th to 24th, 2025. Villa Mondragone is one of the twelve “Tusculum Villas”, the summer residences of the Roman aristocracy of the Italian Renaissance. In particular Villa Mondragone was built starting from 1573 by Cardinal Mark Sittich von Hohenems Altemps and it hosted the popes for their summer residence during the following century. It is in Villa Mondragone that pope Gregory XIII initiated in 1582 the reform of the calendar now in use and known as the Gregorian calendar.

The 4th semi-annual meeting of the ePIC Collaboration is scheduled to take place from January 9th to 13th, 2024, at Argonne National Laboratory in the USA. The meeting will primarily be conducted in person, with broadcasts available over Zoom. The meeting agenda will include plenary sessions that provide status reports on the collaboration and the EIC project, parallel ‘workfest’ sessions, and a guided tour of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) facility and Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) at Argonne. The meeting’s overarching focus will revolve around planning for 2024, the Technical Design Report, and CD-2/3 preparations.
