Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in a workshop on:

3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline 

Atom Interferometry

The workshop will take place from August 20 to 22, 2025, at Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany. 

You can find more details on the workshop's web page: 

https://indico.cern.ch/event/1522217/

If you are interested in attending this event in person, please register before July 1st, 2025, at: 

https://indico.cern.ch/event/1522217/registrations/

The event will be in a hybrid format, allowing for both in-person and remote participation via Zoom. In addition to plenary and parallel sessions, it will also feature a poster session, open to everyone but especially targeting PhD students and early career researchers.

We are pleased to announce that we have secured funding for PhD students to participate in our dedicated poster session. The support for selected PhD students will amount to approximately 250 Euro in compensation. Interested candidates can apply for Poster Session support through the registration link provided above.

Further information about the workshop is available below and on the workshop webpage. In the meantime, you may wish to take a look at the submission to the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, prepared on behalf of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration, which appeared on the arXiv this morning:

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Hannover soon!

Best regards,

The Workshop Organisers

Workshop Scope:

The 3rd TVLBAI workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.
