From 3 to 8 October 2021, the Collaboration Meeting of the BM@N Experiment at the NICA Facility is taking place in the Laboratory of High Energy Physics JINR in the mixed format. The event has become the eighth in the series and hathered around 100 participants from world leading scientific centres.

The focus of the meeting is on the completion of the experimental set-up for the future heavy-ion physics programme. The plans for the BM@N next experimental runs will be discussed. Participants will also review the status of data analysis of strange particle and nucleus fragment production in carbon and argon beams.

There will be a separate IB Meeting to discuss organizational issues of the BM@N Collaboration on 4 October.
