DESCRIPTION:The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-k
 ton liquid-scintillator detector in southern China designed as a multi-pur
 pose neutrino observatory with an anticipated 30-year scientific program. 
 Located 52.5 km from the Yangjiang and Taishan reactor complexes\, its pri
 mary objective is to determine the neutrino mass ordering while delivering
  precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters. Construction o
 f the central detector was completed in December 2024\, followed by liquid
 -scintillator filling and commissioning in 2025\, and physics data taking 
 began on 26 August 2025. Using its first data set\, JUNO has reported worl
 d-leading measurements of the solar oscillation parameters sin²θ₁₂ a
 nd Δm²₂₁\, demonstrating high-precision reactor antineutrino measure
 ments and establishing the experimental foundation for future mass-orderin
 g sensitivity. Beyond reactor oscillation studies\, JUNO’s physics progr
 am includes solar\, atmospheric\, geo- and supernova neutrinos\, as well a
 s searches for rare processes. In this seminar\, I will present the detect
 or status\, the first oscillation results and their implications\, and out
 line the prospects for other physics programmes.
