The conference series has now reached its fifteenth edition. It will take place from March 11th to March 15th, that is in a month from now. It will be the first time without Massimilla Baldo Ceolin, who passed away in November 2011; the last edition in 2011 was also organized without Milla's help, but she was all the same a presence at the conference, which will now be sorely missed.
The site of the conference already lists the talks and most of the speakers; the conference also features a poster session, to encourage the participation of young scientists. And it features a blog, which will discuss the contributions, and provide for an open forum for discussions of the results and the theoretical ideas. I encourage you to visit the blog and subscribe to it if you are interested in neutrino physics and astrophysics.
Here is a short summary of the program (cut-and-paste from the posting I just made at the conference blog site!):
Tuesday, March 12th: Carlo Rubbia will talk about “New concepts for a Higgs factory”. The rest of the day will be a showcase of results from neutrino experiments, such as ICARUS, OPERA, MINOS, Superkamiokande, etcetera.
Wednesday, March 13th: the day will be packed full of interesting theoretical talks alternating with experiment reports, including two discussions on the reactor antineutrino anomaly, results from AMS, Nova, Daya Bay II.
Thursday, March 14th: more experimental reports and theory talks, including discussions of experimental challenges in double beta decays, an overview of atmospheric neutrinos, a discussion of future neutrino projects in the US, plus reports from Gerda, Cuore, and other experiments.
Friday, March 15th: the final morning of the conference will be dedicated to Antares, IceCube, and similar experiments, plus discussions of astroparticle physics and cosmology.
