International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics

The International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics is a significant international conference series in the field of neutrino physics, during which talks detailing notable progress in theoretical and experimental work are given. In addition, the Conference reviews the status of proposed research in neutrino physics and astrophysics. Held every two years, the conference programs consist of plenary sessions with invited speakers, poster sessions and short evening talks. The shorthand designator for a particular Conference is "Neutrino" followed by its year, i.e. Neutrino 2011. The first Conference was held in Balatonfüred in 1972; however, three preceding conferences are often referenced with respect to the history of the Neutrino series. These meetings include the 1965 Informal Conference on Experimental Neutrino Physics at CERN; a 1968 conference in Moscow sponsored by the Academy of the USSR, which was organized just after certain cosmic ray neutrino events were seen in the gold mines of India, South Africa and Utah; and a 1970 meeting in Cortona. The 26th meeting, Neutrino 2014 concluded June 7, 2014 in Boston after featuring presentations encompassing many different branches of neutrino physics. It was recently announced that Neutrino 2020 will be held in Chicago, following the 2016 conference in London and the 2018 conference in Heidelberg.
