2025 ENIGMA Collaboration Workshop on Astrophysics and Geophysics 

Welcome to the 2025 ENIGMA Collaboration Workshop on Astrophysics and Geophysics. This workshop is a premier gathering of experts and researchers focused on leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance our understanding and prediction of seismic activities.

This year, we are delving into several key topics that are at the forefront of research and innovation in Geophysics and Theoretical Physics:

  1. Gravity-Based Earthquake Early Detection: Explore the latest advancements in using superconducting gravimeters for early detection of earthquakes. This session will cover novel methodologies, real-world applications, and the integration of gravity data into early warning systems.
  2. Dark Matter Search: Discuss the ongoing efforts and recent breakthroughs in the search for dark matter. Understand how gravitational measurements can contribute to this elusive field of study and the potential implications for our understanding of the universe.
  3. East-Asia Superconducting Gravity Measurement Network (ENIGMA): Join discussions on the progress and future directions of the ENIGMA network. This session will highlight collaborative efforts across East Asia in using superconducting gravimeters for precise gravity measurements and their applications in geophysics and beyond.
  4. Next-Generation Superconducting Gravity Gradiometers: Engage in forward-thinking discussions on developing the next generation of superconducting gravity gradiometers. Learn about the technological advancements, potential challenges, and future applications that could revolutionize the field.

Given your significant contributions to these areas, we are excited about the insights and expertise you will bring to this workshop. Your participation will be invaluable in fostering collaborative efforts, sharing knowledge, and driving innovations shaping the future of earthquake early detection and gravitational research.
