di Roberto Preghenella

Le prossime Giornate Nazionali ePIC Italia si terranno a Padova dal 16 al 18 Giugno 2025. Si tratta della settima edizione dell’incontro annuale della collaborazione italiana INFN che partecipa al progetto ePIC ad EIC, la prima dal passaggio a sigla omonima di esperimento all’interno della CSN3. Dalla prima edizione, tenutasi a Bari nel 2019, sono stati fatti molti progressi nella costruzione di una comunità solida e coesa che ha progressivamente assunto numerosi ruoli e responsabilità all’interno della Collaborazione internazionale. Questi progressi hanno suggerito di espandere la durata della riunione portandola a due giorni interi, distribuiti su tre per ottimizzare il…
