The High Energy Phenomena in Relativistic Outflows (HEPRO) conferences are a cycle of biennial events devoted to the discussion of the most recent developments, either theoretical, phenomenological, or observational, on the major themes of high-energy and multi-messenger astrophysics associated with relativistic winds and jets, on all scales.

This cycle of conferences has been spurred by Felix Aharonian, Josep Maria Paredes, and Gustavo Romero, and the previous editions were held in Dublin (2007), Buenos Aires (2009), Barcelona (2011), Heidelberg (2013), La Plata (2015), Moscow (2017) and Barcelona (2019).

The HEPRO VIII edition will be held in Paris (France), on the campus of Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris and Observatoire de Paris, from October 23 to October 26, 2023. Some specific themes that will be addressed at HEPRO VIII include the physics, dynamics and multi-wavelength signatures of jets, the production of cosmic-rays, gamma-rays and neutrinos in relativistic outflows, the environments of compact objects, the physics of relativistic sources, including pulsar wind nebulae, binary systems, gamma-ray bursts and blazars, and particle acceleration.

The sessions will be held in the main lecture hall ("Amphithéâtre") of Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris. The number of participants will be limited for logistic reasons.

The scientific program leaves ample room for oral contributions and posters, so do not hesitate to contribute!

Important information: between early September and late October 2023, France will host the Rugby World Cup. The final games will take place in the Paris area on Oct. 20, 21 (semi-finals) and Oct. 27, 28 (finals). Paris may therefore be busy at this time of the year. Please make sure to book accommodation as early as possible!
