The Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) organizes the Conference "Compact stars in the QCD Phase Diagram VI", in Dubna, September 26 - 29, 2017. (Cosmic matter in heavy-ion collision laboratories?)

The aim of the conference is to bring together expertise in fields of the heavy-ion collisions, QCD phase diagram, Compact Stars and on related phenomena.

The conference will cover the following main topics:

--- QCD phase diagram for HIC vs. astrophysics,

--- Quark deconfinement in HIC vs. supernovae, neutron stars and their mergers,

--- Strangeness in HIC and in compact stars,

--- Equation of state and QCD phase transitions.
