Published on 20 May 2026

The Quark Matter 2025, held in Frankfurt from April 6–12, 2025, is the largest global conference in the field of high-energy heavy-ion physics. It brings together leading experimentalists and theorists to explore the properties of matter under extreme conditions, such as those that existed just after the Big Bang.

The 2025 edition attracted around 1000 participants from across the world, making it the largest meeting in the conference series to date. The scientific program featured a very large number of contributions, including hundreds of talks and poster presentations spanning topics such as quark–gluon plasma, particle correlations, jets, and new detector technologies.

Designed to foster collaboration between theory and experiment, the conference serves as a key platform for presenting the latest results from major international facilities like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. Overall, Quark Matter 2025 highlights cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the fundamental building blocks of the Universe in an accessible and collaborative environment.
