ABOUT

59 editions  - only COVID could get in the way of organising a meeting

        About 30 nationalities meeting each year, travelling from around 20 countries

                From less than 30 participants in the early editions to more than 500 today, distributed in 4 weekly sessions

                        More than 12000 different persons attended, amongst whom 26 Nobel prize awardees (mostly before the prize)

The purpose of the Rencontres de Moriond is to discuss recent findings and new ideas in physics in a pleasant, relaxed and convivial atmosphere

The meeting is intended to promote fruitful collaboration between various communities and institutes by bringing together a small number of scientists in inspiring surroundings

At the Rencontres, theorists meet experimenters, young scientists at the post-doctoral level meet senior researchers and discuss all the presented results with them

Some priority is given to young scientists to orally present and defend their own work

The Rencontres are recognised as an excellent training opportunity as well as an opportunity for young scientists to integrate into the physics community

Each year several sessions are organized covering different domains such as Electroweak, QCD, Cosmology, Gravitation, Astroparticle or Mesoscopic Physics
