Physics plays a crucial role in the design of delicious, healthy, and nutritious food and beverages. This annual conference, which will celebrate its 10th Anniversary in 2026, brings together academics and industry professionals to share the latest developments and explore opportunities for physicists to tackle multidisciplinary challenges. These challenges range from sustainability to food manufacturing and the design of multiphase microstructures.

Laser beam shaping is essential in various industrial processes that require enhanced precision and accuracy. This meeting is focused on laser beam shaping technologies and their industrial applications in laser material processing, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, printing and laser writing, medicine and biotechnology, and laser communication and imaging systems. Join our online industry meeting on laser beam shaping for innovative applications and understand how precise control of laser beams can enhance efficiency, accuracy, and performance in these processes.

Join Professor Rob Morris to explore how physics is being used to make sure we only eat the tastiest chocolate. Why does chocolate taste so good, how can experiments help us understand the composition and tastiness of chocolate, and is there even such a thing as bad chocolate!? The Physics of the Everyday series aims to introduce the fundamental physics behind everyday things we take for granted in an accessible, fun, and interactive way. Each short talk will be accompanied by a demonstration and investigation, as well as an opportunity for conversation and discussion. As this event may include the tasting of chocolate and chocolate related products, advanced notice of dietary requirements is needed.

A short talk and workshop, followed by a networking opportunity.

This session will be led by soft matter physicist Dr Kyle Baldwin to focus on the stable foams that often accompany beer as “head”. Why are beers foamy in the first place, how do the bubbles behave (or misbehave) in the glass, and why is this froth so important? The Physics of the Everyday series aims to introduce the fundamental physics behind everyday things we take for granted in an accessible, fun, and interactive way. Each short talk will be accompanied by a demonstration and investigation, as well as an opportunity for conversation and discussion.

Courses and Events for Physics Students,    Public Lectures and Outreach

Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

The Banff International Research Station will host the workshop "Recent Breakthroughs and New Perspectives on the Interplay between Fluid Mechanics and Kinetic Theory" in 2026. This event will bring together leading experts from two closely-related fields---fluid mechanics and kinetic theory---that have seen remarkable progress and growth in the last decade. The workshop aims to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas between these communities, accelerating the proliferation of techniques and discovery of new research directions.
