UK Nuclear Physics Forum Meeting - Summer 2026
There will be an in-person meeting of the UK Nuclear Physics Forum to be held in the Adam Smith Building at the University of Glasgow on 6th and 7th July 2026. The meeting is jointly organised by the forum, STFC’s Nuclear Physics Advisory Panel and the IOP Nuclear Physics Group.
Registration is now open via Indico, please register before the 26th June to allow for catering arrangements to be confirmed. There will be a Teams link available to follow the presentations, but in-person attendance is encouraged wherever possible to facilitate discussion.
There will be a social dinner organised on Monday evening at the Joia Restaurant on Argyle Street near to the University and Kelvingrove Museum. We will have a choice of dishes from a 3-course menu.
