The first General Meeting of the COSMIC WISPers Action [https://agenda.infn.it/event/34125/] took place in Bari (Italy) from 5th to 8th September 2023. The objective of the meeting was to review the status of the activities performed by the different Working Groups and to discuss the further directions of investigations. There were plenary sessions and 4 parallel sessions corresponding to the different Working Groups:
• WG1: Theory and Model Building
• WG2: Dark Matter and Cosmology
• WG3: Astrophysics
• WG4: Direct Searches
After the General Meeting, the COST Action CA21106 1st Training School was held in Lecce (Italy) (https://agenda.infn.it/event/34190/) from 11st to 14th September 2023. The goal was to start training a generation of young scientists in the interdisciplinary expertise on WISPs, ranging from theoretical and experimental approaches to multi-messenger astroparticle physics and cosmology.
There were four lectures on different topics corresponding to the Working Groups 1—4 and several students talks.
