Where:
Aula Caldirola, Physics Department, University of Milano

As a tradition, this year we have organised the Milan Xmas meeting, and we are happy to announce that it will be in person.
This is a precious occasion to gather people who have studied here in Milan, together with close collaborators, in order to discuss ongoing works and update our scientific community about our new results. Since former and current Milan students are more and more over time, the topics that will be covered are various, and the speakers will be divided into thematic sessions. They range from star and planet formation to black holes dynamics and high energy phenomena.
The workshop will take place on the 20th and 21st of December 2021, at the Physics Department of the University of Milano, in Via Celoria 16.

For people not able to come, we are organising a remote connection.
