Special events

Building on the success of the last two years, we are once again organizing the Balkan Student Summer School in Thessaloniki. This year's theme is Artificial Intelligence in Science.

The Balkan Physical Union, the Hellenic Physical Society and the European Physical Society under the auspices of the Municipality of Thessaloniki are organizing the first Balkan student Summer School on Astronomy and Astrophysics.

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.  

We are pleased to announce that the International Conference on Advances in Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology (ICAGAC2026) will be held on September 23-24, 2026 in Berlin, Germany. The International Conference on Advances in Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology (ICAGAC2026) is a premier forum that brings together leading researchers, scientists, scholars and practitioners from around the globe. It is dedicated to exploring the frontiers of gravitational physics, astrophysics, cosmology and related disciplines. Through an enriching mix of keynote lectures, invited talks, contributed oral presentations, poster sessions and exhibitions, The International Conference on Advances in Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology fosters rigorous scientific exchange, collaborative networking, and the cross-fertilization of ideas across theory, experiment and observation. This event offers a unique platform for insightful discussions, new partnerships, and the exchange of groundbreaking ideas. We invite you to Berlin, Germany to engage in a dynamic scientific event and contribute to the progress of astrophysical research.

Creation of a forum for sharing and discussion of the relevant state-of-the-art research results in various fields of theoretical and experimental physics, as well as promoting ideas exchange between researchers from Macedonia and the colleagues worldwide is the aim of this biennale physics conference, organized by the Society of Physicists of Macedonia and the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.
