The NUSTAR week conference has gathered together international experts in the Fields of Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics, at the headquarter of Milano University. Scientific and technical progresses have been presented and discussed in connection with the development of the international facility FAIR in Darmstadt (Germany).

In a Letter published on Nature Astronomy, scientists from the Universities of Milano and Durham confirm the validity of Einstein’s theory on the largest scales ever tested. A direct implication of the study is that the ubiquitous dark energy is confirmed to be a necessary ingredient to explain the accelerated expansion of our Universe.

The fifth Strategy Report and Roadmap 2018 of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) was presented on 11th September, in the framework of the Austrian Presidency events, at Aula der Wissenschaften in Vienna.
