Published on 31 January 2022
vConf21 - a virtual forum for dissemination, networking and outreach in theoretical and experimental strong interaction physics.

Drawing on the state-of-the-art in remote conferencing and amended by a rich outreach program, this virtual event was organized as substitute for the postponed 14th Confinement conference by the Institute for Mathematics and Physics at the University of Stavanger, Norway, between August 2-6 2021.

The Confinement conference series was inaugurated in 1994 and has since become an important forum for scientists working on strong interactions, stimulating exchange among theorists and experimentalists, as well as across adjacent fields.

In the spirit of the Confinement conference series vConf21 featured plenary talks, roundtable discussion and parallel contributed talks. More than 440 registered participants enjoyed a program with over 200 individual contributions.

Research topics of particular current interest were highlighted at the roundtables: the physics of the upcoming electron-ion collider, open-quantum-systems, machine learning application to strong-interaction physics and the latest developments on the muon anomalous magnetic moment.

It was a pleasure to welcome three excellent outreach speakers E. Elsen (CERN), C. Quigg (Fermilab) and Z. Kang (UCLA), whose insightful presentations can be found on the Confinement YouTube outreach channel.

This was our first experience of publishing with EPJ Web of Conferences. We contacted the publisher in the middle of September, just one month prior to the Conference, but everything went through smoothly. We have had published MNPS Proceedings with different publishers in the past, and would like to tell that the EPJ Web of Conferences team was probably the best, very quick, helpful and interactive. Typically, we were getting responses from EPJ Web of Conferences team within less than an hour and have had help at every production stage.
We are very thankful to Solange Guenot, Web of Conferences Publishing Editor, and Isabelle Houlbert, Web of Conferences Production Editor, for their support. These ladies are top-level professionals, who made a great contribution to the success of this issue. We are fully satisfied with the publication of the Conference Proceedings and are looking forward to further cooperation. The publication was very fast, easy and of high quality. My colleagues and I strongly recommend EPJ Web of Conferences to anyone, who is interested in quick high-quality publication of conference proceedings.
