The Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a special event bringing together members of the scientific community, collaborators, alumni, and friends of the institute.

Since its creation in 2006, ICCUB has established itself as a leading international research centre in astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and related technologies. Over the past two decades, its researchers have contributed to major scientific advances, participated in international collaborations at the forefront of fundamental physics, and trained new generations of scientists.

The anniversary celebration will be an opportunity to reflect on the institute’s achievements, acknowledge the people and institutions that have made them possible, and look ahead to the scientific challenges of the coming years.
