DIS2026 is the 33rd in an annual series of International Workshops covering a broad mixture of material related to Quantum Chromodynamics and Deep Inelastic Scattering as well as a general survey of the hottest topics in high energy physics. A significant part of the program is devoted to the most recent theoretical advances and results from large experiments at BNL, CERN, DESY, FNAL, JLab and KEK.

The synthesis of heavy elements occurs through complex reactions in unstable nuclei in exotic astrophysical environments. Understanding this requires precise knowledge of the nuclei involved, which are often experimentally inaccessible and thus need to be studied theoretically. Substantial progress has been made in the reach and precision of nuclear structure and reaction theory, positioning the field to refine our knowledge of key nucleosynthesis reactions. This workshop will bring together experts in nuclear structure and reactions to focus on the interface of state-of-the-art nuclear structure and reaction theory. The key goal is to bring these communities together to target necessary developments for the prediction of processes relevant for nucleosynthesis in medium-mass and heavy nuclei, such as nucleon-capture reactions, electroweak transitions, and nuclear fusion and fission.

Cluster'26 will be the 12th International Conference on Clustering Aspects of Nuclear Structure and Dynamics; the leading international conference series dedicated to clustering in atomic nuclei dating back to Bochum, Germany in 1969.To be held at the Institute of Physics in London, UK, researchers across the globe are invited to elucidate the phenomenon of how nuclei arrange themselves into cluster structures.

The workshop will focus on the latest forefront experimental and theoretical developments in the physics of weakly-bound and unbound nuclei, and explorations of the drip lines and beyond.

IEEE International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) is an annual conference coordinated by the Plasma Science and Application Committee (PSAC) of the IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society.

The conference will spotlight groundbreaking research and development in both experimental and theoretical nuclear structure physics, diving deep into the fascinating properties of nuclei at the far reaches of isospin, excitation energy, mass, and angular momentum.

This workshop will address the low-energy probes that access the electroweak lepton-quark interactions using atomic nuclei, elaborate on connections between beta decays, parity violation, and the physics of exotic and ordinary atoms, and study the impact of these probes in a broader context through the global electroweak fit to low-energy and collider data in the Standard Model and beyond. The atomic, nuclear, and particle communities often work separately. This interdisciplinary workshop will bring together experts from these fields, both theorists and experimentalists, and create an exciting context for them to interact, recognize intersections, foster connections, and seek possibilities to guide the planning of future scientific programs.

This workshop will provide a forum for the exchange of novel ideas in nuclear and particle physics, particularly those involving high-power laser systems. We aim to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, including the exploration of experimental feasibility with insights from leading experts in laser-plasma physics, with the ultimate goal of stimulating collaborative experimental proposals.

Superheavy nuclei occupy the extremely high-Z edge of the Segré chart, and superheavy elements form the limit of the periodic table. The physics and chemistry of superheavy elements are cutting-edge areas of research in nuclear science today. Understanding the properties of the heaviest nuclei through studies of nuclear reaction mechanisms and decay properties using innovative experimental techniques and novel theoretical approaches will help us answer fundamental questions about the nucleon-nucleon interaction, the creation of chemical elements in the universe, and the limits of nuclear stability. In this workshop, senior and junior researchers will critically assess recent advances in superheavy element research and the challenges hindering further progress to identify the best pathways to push our knowledge beyond current frontiers. Keywords: Physical and chemical properties of superheavy nuclei; production mechanisms; decay of superheavy nuclei; detection and identification of superheavy nuclei.

The symposium addresses experimental and theoretical studies of the equation-of-state (EoS) of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter, with its implications in astrophysics. The scientific sessions of NuSym26 will present latest results and new ideas on probes of the symmetry energy below and above saturation density from laboratory experiments as well as from astrophysical observations, gravitational waves and supernova neutrinos.

The 8th international workshop on Compound-Nuclear Reactions and Related Topics will be held from 5 to 9 October 2026 at ACROS Fukuoka Conference Room in Fukuoka, Japan. Following in the footsteps of previous workshops held in Yosemite National Park (2007), Bordeaux (2009), Prague (2011), Sao Paolo (2013), Tokyo (2015), Berkeley (2018), and Vienna (2024) the meeting will bring together scientists from the fields of nuclear theory, experiment, nuclear astrophysics, data evaluation, and other applications. The primary goal is to provide a forum for reviewing the status of experimental and theoretical efforts in compound-nuclear reactions and related areas, discussing recent developments, and exploring how these improvements can be integrated into practical applications.

As the 15th edition of this prestigious symposium, LASNPA 2026 continues a rich tradition of scientific exchange that started in Venezuela in 1995. The symposium has traveled across Latin America, with its 14th edition held in Mexico in 2024, strengthening scientific bonds and promoting regional development in nuclear science. This marks the symposium's return to Brazil, which first had the pleasure of hosting in 2003. LASNPA 2026 aims to foster collaboration and showcase the latest advancements in the field.

The ninth international conference, Low Energy Nuclear Dynamics FUSION 27, will be held from 24 to 28 May 2027 in the region of Bordeaux, France. FUSION27 will continue the tradition of the FUSION conference series and will cover a wide range of topics on near-barrier nuclear reactions.
