Call for bids to host the European Nuclear Physics Conference in 2027 (EuNPC 2027)
The board of the Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) is seeking candidates to host the 2027 edition of the European Nuclear Conference (EuNPC 2027).
Every three years the European Nuclear Physics Conference brings together researchers with the aim to review and discuss the status and prospects in the field of nuclear physics and its applications. The conference will be a showcase for forefront theoretical and experimental developments, where the interplay between outstanding research and innovative concepts in the field will be promoted.
The EuNPC conference is part of the series of NPD divisional conferences, including also the Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics (NPA) and the Applied Nuclear Physics (ANP) Conferences.
The application material should include:
- tentative dates of the conference,
- the description of the proposed location and venue,
- a description of universities, laboratories and other parties participating in the organization,
- the projected costs,
- expected financial supports,
- anticipated sponsorship from universities, laboratories, and industry
- expected support provided for students and early career researchers,
- foreseen approximate conference fees.
The scientific program should cover the following fields:
- Accelerators and Instrumentation
- Nuclear Structure, Spectroscopy, and Dynamics
- Nuclear Astrophysics
- Astroparticle Physics
- Heavy Ion Collisions and QCD Phases
- Hadron Structure, Spectroscopy, and Dynamics
- Fundamental Symmetries and Interactions
- Nuclear Physics Applications
- Few-Body Systems
The bid should also provide a list of members of the proposed Local Organizing Committee.
As the EuNPC is part of the series organized by the Nuclear Physics Division:
- a reduced fee for EPS members should be considered
- a contribution of €25 per participant is expected to be provided to the NPD board
- all NPD board members should be included in the International Advisory Committee and as session conveners.
In the case that proceedings are foreseen, it is strongly recommended to consider a refereed journal. The procedure should be defined in advance, and the possibility to contribute with a proceedings article must be open to all speakers.
The conference could apply to be recognized as an EPS conference and may also request an EPS poster prize and/or a grant for early-career researchers.
It is in the tradition of the EuNPC to have a special session devoted to the EPS-NPD awards. In the 2027 edition, we expect to award the Lise Meitner 2026 prize and prizes for the best 2024-2026 PhD theses. The winners will be invited at the conference to present their work.
The deadline to submit the application material to the Scientific Secretary of the NPD board (Raquel Crespo, raquel.crespo@tecnico.ulisboa.pt) is July 31st, 2025.
Applicants will be invited to present their proposal at the NPD board meeting in September 2025. The NPD board will select and announce the host of the EuNPC 2027 conference at the end of the EuNPC 2025 edition that will be held in Caen (France), on September 22-26, 2025.
