This is a regional conference for the High Energy Physics, Cosmology, Astronomy: Theory and Simulations (HEPCATS) community. IISER Mohali initiated this series in December 2019 and we transitioned to online meetings during the pandemic. Later events have been hosted by IIT Ropar, IIT Mandi, CU Himachal Pradesh, NIT Jalandhar. This brings together researchers from about ten institutions in the region and is starting to foster an understanding of work being done by different groups. It is our expectation that in coming years this will also lead to regional collaborations.
The 9th Shivalik HEPCATS will be hosted by IISER Mohali, from January 27-28, 2024. The link to the conference webpage is here (https://indico.global/event/8262/)
