The 21st International Conference on Strangeness in Quark Matter (SQM 2024) will focus on new experimental and theoretical developments on the role of strange and heavy-flavour quarks in high energy heavy-ion collisions and in astrophysical phenomena.
Topics: Strangeness and heavy-quark production in nuclear collisions and hadronic interactions, Hadron resonances in the strongly-coupled partonic and hadronic medium, Bulk matter phenomena associated with strange and heavy quarks, QCD phase structure, Collectivity in small systems, Strangeness in astrophysics, Open questions and new developments
