Initial Stages 是一場專注於重離子碰撞初始狀態研究的國際研討會，今年首度將這項國際盛會帶入台灣，讓這片土地成為全球重離子物理領域中知識與創新交流的核心舞台。

Initial Stages 意指在高能量金-金或鉛-鉛重離子對撞後的初始量子態，旨在探索夸克-膠子等離子體的形成機制。因此，我們的設計融入了不同核物質結構於碰撞過程中的視覺意象表達，象徵著來自各國的頂尖科學家在此進行思想交流與碰撞。設計中心以點亮，捕捉那一刻的「初始階段」，呼應活動名稱並傳遞出這次研討會將為重離子物理學開啟新的篇章。

Initial Stages is an international conference dedicated to the study of the initial state in heavy-ion collisions. This year marks the first time the event is held in Taiwan, positioning the island as a key stage for global exchange in the field of heavy-ion physics, where knowledge and innovation converge.

The term Initial Stages refers to the earliest quantum state that emerges after high-energy Au–Au or Pb–Pb heavy-ion collisions, aiming to investigate the formation mechanisms of the quark–gluon plasma. Our design incorporates visual representations of various nuclear matter structures as they evolve throughout the collision process, symbolizing the intellectual exchange and “collisions” of ideas among leading scientists from around the world. The illuminated center of the design captures the very moment of the initial stage, echoing the conference title and conveying the sense of a new chapter unfolding for the heavy-ion physics community.
