RPC 2026 will take place from 14 to 18 September 2026 at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. General information is available on the conference website and on the event page. This edition will be especially meaningful as it will mark the first time the RPC Conference is held in Brazil and in South America.

The conference is devoted to resistive plate chambers (RPCs) and related gaseous detector technologies, with topics spanning detector performance in high-energy physics experiments, production and quality assurance, instrumentation techniques, alternative gas mixtures and longevity studies, physics and simulation, and applied research. We believe these themes may be of interest to EPS members working on detector development, instrumentation, experimental physics, and related applications.

Abstract submission is open until 24 June 2026, and early registration will remain open until 1 August 2026.
