A man in a grey blazer stands on an indoor stage, holding a microphone and presentation remote. To his right, a large monitor displays a slide titled “Windows on the Universe” with space-themed images. To his left, a purple conference backdrop reads “DEEP TECH ATELIER” and features a neon-style circuit-tree graphic alongside EU and “Mission Latvia” logos. An empty chair and a small potted plant sit in the background.
A presenter in a yellow coat and beige headscarf sits behind a Sun–Earth–Moon demonstration model; on the table is a poster titled “What is the Universe Made of?” highlighting dark matter and dark energy.
“Digital poster for the ASTROCENT Seminar Series titled Astroparticle Frontiers. A dark-to-blue gradient background fills the graphic. Top left: a stylized circular logo. Large white heading reads ‘ASTROPARTICLE FRONTIERS’; beneath it, the date ‘May 15, 2025’. Further down, a bold quote announces the talk: ‘Importance of directionality in the search for dark matter within the neutrino fog – The CYGNO Experiment’. On the right, a circular photo shows the seminar’s speaker – a young bearded man in a casual hoodie, seated in a café setting.
