This is a conference to celebrate Hitoshi's 60th birthday this year. Hitoshi is the founding director of Kavli IPMU. The conference will cover a broad range of topics, reflecting Hitoshi's diverse achievements in fields such as particle physics, astrophysics, instrumentation (fostering projects), social sciences, public outreach, etc.
This conference is also a great opportunity to recall how the launch of IPMU was like and discuss the current status of our science and the future of Kavli IPMU.
Let's all enjoy discussing physics with Hitoshi! Please join us for Hitoshi Fest.
