UK Nuclear Physics Early Career Research Forum 2026

→ Europe/London
201 (Cockcroft Buliding)

201

Cockcroft Buliding

Room 201, Cockcroft Building, University of Brighton, Lewes Road, BN2 4GJ
Andy Briscoe (University of Liverpool), Jacob Heery (University of Surrey)
Description
The 5th early-career researcher (ECR) forum for UK nuclear physics will be held in-person at the University of Brighton on the 16th of April, 2026. The event provides a unique forum for doctoral and post-doctoral researchers from institutes around the UK to present their work, discuss new methods and cutting edge ideas, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. 
This will be an inclusive event and there will be no registration fee for attending. If you consider yourself to be an early-career researcher, you are welcome to attend. We do not currently anticipate the need to limit the number of attendees, however if this situation changes we will prioritise the in-person attendance of PhDs and PDRAs.
This page will be updated with new information as the program is formed. 
This event is funded by the IOP Nuclear Physics Group.
