It aims at promoting research activities in the history of physics and a stronomy in Italy\, carried out not only by academic historians but also b y independent scholars and school teachers willing to explore the role of the history of physics and astronomy in the present-day teaching of the di sciplines. At the same time\, the Congress provides an opportunity to stre ngthen collaborations and establish new links among the members of SISFA a nd the members of other scholarly societies\, as well as researchers worki ng in the same and related fields.\nHistorians of physics and astronomy ar e then invited to participate and the invitation is extended to all the sc holars and researchers sharing the same kind of interests.\nThe Congress w ill host both invited talks and oral communications. The official language s will be both Italian and English.\nThe SISFA award for the Best Graduate Thesis in History of Physics or History of Astronomy (Premio di Laurea SI SFA 2025) will be awarded during the Congress.\nTopics\nProposals for oral communications should mainly address the history of physics and astronomy \, also in connection with the related areas of mathematics\, chemistry\, and the history of science and culture. Studies focusing on historical ins truments and documentary sources regarding the mentioned fields are also r elevant to the purposes of the Congress\, as well as the applications of t he history of physics and astronomy in science education and museum displa ys.\nThematic sessions:\nGian Domenico Cassini: 400 anni dalla nascita / G ian Domenico Cassini: 400 Years After his Birth  Mathematician and astron omer\, Gian Domenico Cassini (1625-1712) born in Perinaldo (IM) and educat ed at the Collegio Gesuita in Genova\, was professor of astronomy at the U niversity of Bologna\, then astronomer at the Observatoire Royal in Paris (1669-1712)\, as well as one of the most important astronomers in the XVII century. This session will celebrate the 400th anniversary of Cassini’s birth and intends to focus on the major developments that led to the birt h of modern astronomy in the XVI-XVII centuries.\nDalla Vecchia Teoria dei Quanti alla Meccanica Quantistica / From the Old Quantum Theory to Quantu m Mechanics From 1925 onwards some articles appeared in the scientific li terature that deeply influenced the development of Quantum Theory. W. Heis enberg\, E. Schrödinger\, N. Bohr and other physicists were the godfather s of the new Quantum Mechanics. This session aims to analyze the themes an d the interpretations of the QM.\nLa Fisica e il Mare: conoscere\, navigar e\, esplorare / Physics and the Sea: Knowing\, Sailing\, ExploringThis ses sion will explore the role of physics in relation to the sea\, weaving tog ether historical and contemporary perspectives. From cartography intertwin ing science and art to the physics of tides\; from the problem of determin ing longitude in navigation to the development of instruments such as sext ants\, clocks and other devices\, up to the KM3NeT\, the European telescop e and its neutrino detectors located at the bottom of the Mediterranean Se a.\nMusei\, Archivi e collezioni scientifiche di fisica e astronomia in It alia e nel mondo / Museums\, Archives\, and Scientific Collections of Phys ics and Astronomy in Italy and Abroad The historical collections of instru ments and documents testify to scientific progress\, and they are still re sources for teaching and research. This session will give space to Italian and foreign historical collections\nDialogo tra storia\, didattica e divu lgazione in fisica e astronomia / Dialogue Between History\, Teaching and Dissemination in Physics and Astronomy This session will focus on the conn ections between science education\, public engagement and the history of p hysics and astronomy.\nRegistration and abstract submission\nThe conferenc e is open to both members and non-members\, but non-members who have never attended a SISFA conference should also submit their CV to congresso@sisf a.org\nTo attend the conference it is necessary to be registered. Registra tion will be open after the acceptance of abstracts. Non-invited speakers have to finalize the registration after paying the conference fee. The con ference fee will include lunches and coffee breaks and will be used to par tially cover the cost of the publication of the proceedings of the confere nce that will be published online and open access by FedOAPress.\nTitles a nd abstracts of oral communications should be submitted in English. The le ngth of the abstract should be between 100 and 250 words and include no bi bliography. All abstracts will be peer-reviewed on behalf of the SISFA sci entific committee.\nGrants\nThree grants of 350 euros each will be availab le for young scholars under the age of 35. Applicants must be up to date w ith the SISFA 2025 membership fee and submit their abstracts by the deadli ne\, indicating their interest in the grant by checking the appropriate bo x during the abstract submission process. Grant recipients whose abstracts are accepted will be required to publish an article in the SISFA proceedi ngs and will be exempt from the Conference fees.\nImportant Note\nTo submi t an abstract\, please use your INDICO or IDEM account.
