Satellite events

This year, the conference will open on Monday 18 August with several satellite events.

The morning will be dedicated to an ‘Energy Day’ with a plenary lecture by Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, the newly elected president of EPFL. The 4th Women in Physics Career Symposium will take place with ESO speaker Francesca Primas, and there will be a symposium in honour of Wolfgang Pauli and Erwin Schrödinger: 100 years of quantum physics.

Condensed Matter (KOND)

The condensed matter program welcomes contributions from all topics within Condensed Matter Physics, including magnetism, superconductivity, semiconductors and more. Investigations by advanced experimental techniques, e.g. by using synchrotron radiation, are highly welcome.

The session is this year organised in collaboration with the Central European Initiative – comprising Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland – under the theme Condensed Matter in Central Europe. This initiative aims to highlight Central Europe's immense potential as a dynamic, competitive, and attractive hub for scientists and high-tech industries while fostering stronger connections among Central European physical societies.

Accelerator Science and Technology

Particle accelerators play an important role in high energy physics, materials and life sciences. They are used to create a very special state of matter — beams of particles (protons, electrons, photons, neutrons, muons, neutrinos etc.). Contributions are encouraged on all aspects of accelerator development for future high energy frontier electron, proton and muon colliders, high brightness synchrotron light sources as well as high intensity neutron sources.

Gravitational Waves

For this special session contributions covering all aspects of gravitational wave physics are welcome, in particular those connected with the Einstein Telescope (ET), the LISA mission, and the ongoing LIGO-Virgo detectors.

Relevant topics include data analysis, theoretical aspects, and experimental challenges of ET and / or LISA.

We particularly encourage PhD students and postdocs to submit abstracts and to join the meeting. Depending on the number of proposed contributions, the session will take place on one or two afternoons. Poster contributions are also welcome.

Progress in Material Sciences – from Lab to Industry

In this year`s session of “Physics in Industry“, we will bring together presentations from a wide range of companies, applying methods of material physics to develop new materials or to improve their properties for industrial application.

If you are interested in presenting a talk in this session please contact the section heads.

BeyondC is a special research programme (SFB) consisting of 13 research groups in Austria applying theoretical and experimental expertise to develop and exploit new methods and tools to describe, characterize, validate, and manipulate quantum systems in order to achieve the experimental regime of quantum systems for quantum superiority.

Oral and poster contributions fitting the scope of this session are also welcome from groups which are not organised within SFB BeyondC.

Theoretical Physics

As in the previous years, theoretical contributions are highly encouraged and will be included directly in a corresponding topical session. This way, the sessions will profit from a broad range of experimental, phenomenological, and theoretical advancements that are relevant in the specific topical field and thus can engage in broader and deeper discussions.

Please submit your abstract to the session which best matches your topic. You can optionally mark your contribution as "theoretical" in the submission interface.
