The purpose of the conference series is to discuss theoretical and experimental progress in studies of the QCD phase diagram and properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperature and density. Particular emphasis is put on the physics at non-zero baryon number density.
Scientific Topics:
Critical Point
Phase transitions in hot and dense matter
Deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration
Hadronization and chemical freeze-out
Compact Stars
Future facilities, detectors and methods
