Dear Researchers,
We are pleased to announce that IOCAT will return in 2027, following the success of the first edition in 2026. Organized by MDPI’s open access journal Atoms (ISSN: 2218-2004; Impact Factor: 1.5), the 2nd International Online Conference on Atoms (IOCAT 2027) will be held online from 27 to 29 January 2027.
The first edition of IOCAT garnered a huge amount of interest among the community, serving as an international forum dedicated to atomic physics and its applications. Building on this success, the 2027 edition will take place over three days, allowing for a broader scientific program and more opportunities for discussion and interaction among participants.
IOCAT2027 aims to bring together researchers working in diverse areas of atomic physics and related fields, providing a platform to present recent advances in and exchange ideas on both theoretical and experimental developments.
This conference will feature the following sessions:
S1. Atomic structure and spectroscopy: theory and experiment;
S2. Atomic collisions and strong field processes;
S3. Atomic data for astrophysics and laboratory plasmas;
S4. Cold atoms, quantum control and quantum technologies;
S5. Computational and AI methods in atomic physics;
S6. Fundamental tests and precision measurements with atoms.

Yangzhou, China
The primary objective of the Loops'26 summer school is to provide students in the field of quantum gravity with an up-to-date introduction of the fundamentals of canonical and covariant loop quantum gravity (LQG), quantum black holes, and cosmology, with an emphasis on the numerous novel results achieved within the field over the past years. It will take place from 10–22 May 2026, at Yangzhou, China, and will be hosted by Yangzhou University.

Hangzhou, China
Loops' 26 is a long-running conference focusing on diverse aspects of loop quantum gravity, which, along with the annual seminar for loop quantum gravity, will take place from 24–29 May 2026, at Hangzhou, China, hosted by Zhejiang University of Technology.
The conference is aimed at the most recent updates on both theoretical and phenomenological aspects of loop quantum gravity, which mainly include canonical loop quantum gravity, covariant loop quantum gravity, as well as various approaches to the applications to black hole and cosmological spacetimes.

Zaragoza, Spain
The goal of the IDM conference is to present a comprehensive overview of the status of dark matter searches, covering theoretical and experimental perspectives across theories, candidates, and detection strategies while also providing insights into the technological advances in detection techniques that will impact the prospects of finding clues about the nature of dark matter.
IDM 2026 is scheduled as an in-person conference on 1–5 June 2026, and it will be held in Zaragoza, Spain, organized by the CAPA Institute.

Wrocław, Poland
Inaugurated in 1994 in Como, Italy, this series of conferences has become an important forum for scientists working on strong interactions, stimulating exchanges among theorists and experimentalists as well as across related fields.
The aim of the conference is to bring together people working on strong interactions from different approaches, ranging from lattice QCD to perturbative QCD, from models of the QCD vacuum to QCD phenomenology and experiments, and from effective theories to physics beyond the Standard Model.
The scope of the conference also includes the interface between QCD, nuclear physics and astrophysics, and the wider landscape of strongly coupled physics. In particular, the conference will focus on the fruitful interactions and mutual benefits between QCD and the physics of condensed matter and strongly correlated systems.
The seventeenth edition of this conference series will be held at the Grunwaldzki Campus of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, Poland, between June 29th and July 4th, 2026.

Prague, Czech Republic
Hosted by the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Czech Technical University in Prague (IEAP CTU), the Exotic Compact Objects Workshop 2026 (ECOs 2026) will be held in Prague, The Czech Republic, from September 29 to October 1, 2026. The workshop will adopt a hybrid format (in-person participation + online via ZOOM), and applications for participation are now officially open. We cordially invite experts, young postdoctoral researchers and PhD candidates in the fields of astrophysics, nuclear physics, high-energy physics and gravitational physics to this cutting-edge academic event!
