The first two days of the CeNAM Frontiers meeting are dedicated to the Junior Workshop, which emphasizes the training, mentorship, and professional development of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The workshop also provides participants the opportunities to present their research and exchange ideas with peers.

The program will begin at 8:00 a.m. on May 18th and conclude at 5:00 p.m. on May 19th with an optional lab tour of the Cyclotron Institute. Morning sessions will feature research presentations by graduate students and postdocs. Afternoon sessions will focus on career development and communication skills, with panel discussions and interactive workshops covering topics such as career planning, scientific writing, and public speaking. 

The main CeNAM Frontiers conference will begin at 8:00 a.m. on May 20th and conclude at 5:00 p.m. on May 22nd. This meeting will bring together researchers working in Nuclear Theory, Nuclear Experiments, Astrophysics Theory, and Observational Astronomy to discuss recent advances and emerging frontiers in the field.

Conference sessions will feature invited speakers, contributed talks, and panel discussions that highlight the interdisciplinary nature of nuclear astrophysics. Sessions will feature a variety of speakers and panelists from all four major areas of the field. Through these various sessions, participants will explore how experimental and theoretical efforts combine to deepen our understanding of the nucleosynthetic origins of the elements and the physics of compact objects.
