Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology 2025 (WHEPP-2025)

Dec 14, 2025, 8:00 AM → Dec 20, 2025, 9:00 PM Asia/Kolkata

IIT Hyderabad

Anjan Giri

The Workshop on High Energy Physics Phenomenology is a prominent international series of workshops on particle physics with a strong focus on particle physics phenomenology and its connections to both formal theory and experiments. Held biennially, WHEPP serves as India's most significant recurring international event in this field since 1989. The workshop encompasses the entire breadth of particle physics, organised into various topical working groups. The upcoming 18th edition (WHEPP-2025) will be held in IIT Hyderabad. Participation is by invitation only.
