COSMIC WISPers (CA21106) is a COST Action [https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21106/, https://cosmicwispers.eu/] focusing on very Weakly Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs). The aim of the COST Action COSMIC WISPers is to coordinate and support WISPs searches in a synergic way at the boundary between particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
The CA21106 2nd General Meeting [https://agenda.infn.it/event/39939/] took place in Istanbul (Turkey) from 3rd to 6th of September 2024. The objective of the meeting was to review the status of the activities performed by the different Working Groups and to discuss the further directions of investigations. There were plenary sessions and 4 parallel sessions corresponding to the different Working Groups:
- WG1: Theory and Model Building
- WG2: Dark Matter and Cosmology
- WG3: Astrophysics
- WG4: Direct Searches
Before the General Meeting, the COST Action CA21106 2nd Training School [https://indico.ijs.si/event/1825/] was held in Ljubljana (Slovenia) from 10th to 14th of June 2024. The goal was to start training a generation of young scientists in the interdisciplinary expertise on WISPs, ranging from theoretical and experimental approaches to multi-messenger astroparticle physics and cosmology. For this purpose, there were lectures from experts on different topics of WISPs physics and several students and early-career postdocs talks.
