1. •This is the 11th of the series of HEP-MAD conference organized regularly every 1 or 2 years in Madagascar since 2001, in alternance to the traditional series of QCD-conference held in Montpellier (France) on July every 1 or 2 years. We have celebrated in 2016 its 15th anniversary (HEPMAD16).
   

2. •The conference is expected to involve of about 10-20 high-energy physicists from abroad.
   

3. •Unlike the QCD conference which is a specialized QCD meeting, HEPMAD aims to cover a large area of physics: from High-Energy to Astro Physics. National contributions cover Climatology, Applied Nuclear Physics and some different forms of sustanaible energies (solar,...). This conference is a compromise between a standard one where specialized topics are presented and some introductory talks to each field presented.
   

4. •It gives the opportunuity for high-energy physicists to promote the field of high-energy physics (theory and experiments) in Madagascar. In the same time, the meeting will permit to the participants to discover the country (famous about its bio-diversity, endemic fauna and flora species) and its tradition and different cultures.
   

5. •The theoretical and experimental talks cover different aspects of high-energy physics which are presented in the form of introductional reviews to the fields, short contributions and posters. These talks are complemented by some other national talks in other areas of physics.
   

6. •The Conference is published regularly on-line in the SLAC-Stanford ECONF-proceedings.
