6th Winter Meeting on Particles and Fields - 2014
We have successfully organized Five Winter Meetings on Particles and Fields in Pakistan. The first one was held in the Physics Department of the Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, in 2008. The second, third such meetings were organized at the National Centre for Physics, Islamabad, in 2009 and 2010 where as the fourth meeting took place at the School of Science and Engineering at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore in 2011. These four meeting were mainly the National Winter Meeting. The fifth meeting took place at the Centre of High Energy Physics, Punjab University Lahore in 2013.

ICTP-NCP School on LHC Physics - 2014
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest particle accelerator ever built in the history in terms of energy and luminosity. LHC is currently under operation at European Organization for Nuclear Physics (CERN), Geneva. The discovery of the Higgs Boson was announced by two big LHC experiments called CMS and ATLAS on July 4, 2012.

Symposium on Theoretical High Energy Physics and Cosmology
National Centre for Physics (NCP), Quaid-i-Azam University Campus is organizing a two day symposium on Theoretical High Energy Physics and Cosmology from 19 – 20 December, 2014. The NCP is relatively a young research Centre established in 2004 and has been successful in establishing a few active research departments in the areas of applied and basic sciences. Among these, the Department of Theoretical Physics is facilitating opportunities of viable research in the domains of theoretical particle physics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, high energy physics and mathematical physics. The idea of holding the symposium on Theoretical High Energy Physics and Cosmology (THEPC) at NCP is to provide a platform for the local participants to meet and exchange/share scientific knowledge about recent developments in the field of THEP&C. The event consists of Oral talks by local researchers and Video lectures by experts in the field abroad. As such, the activity will serve as a forum where the participants in the field will have a chance to present their research work to the fellow researchers with the possibility of initiating mutual collaborations at national and international level. Participation of junior students has been thought to be useful to introduce them to the exciting field of particle physics and cosmology.
