Welcome to LASNPA 2026 in Brazil 
!
It is with great pleasure that we invite the international scientific community to the 15th Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and Applications (LASNPA 2026), to be held in the vibrant city of São Paulo, Brazil, on 07 to 10 December, 2026.
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 scientific program will be centered around the following key topics:
-
Nuclear Structure and Reactions
-
Nuclear Astrophysics
-
Neutrons and Fundamental Symmetries
-
QCD and Hadron Physics
-
Relativistic Heavy Ions
-
Nuclear Physics in Medicine and Biology
-
Nuclear Instrumentation, Facilities, and Applications
We are working to create an inspiring and memorable event and look forward to welcoming you to Brazil for an exceptional scientific gathering.

- Registration Opens: March, 2026
- Abstract Submission Deadline: July, 2026
This is an IUPAP-sponsored conference and we comply with the two following policies
- Free Circulation of Scientists: The principle of the Universality of Science is fundamental to scientific progress. This principle embodies freedom of movement, association, expression and communication for scientists, as well as equitable access to data, information and research materials. In pursuing its objectives with respect to the rights and responsibilities of scientists, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) actively upholds this principle, and, in so doing, opposes any discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age. IUPAP should only sponsor conferences and events at institutions and in countries that uphold this principle. If scientists are excluded from attending IUPAP-sponsored international conferences by a host institution or country on the basis of any of these factors, IUPAP should register its concern at the highest level of that institution or country, and should not sponsor any future events in that country until such exclusions have been eliminated. [ Section 1 (http://iupap.org/sponsored-conferences/conference-policies/)]
- Harassment at Conferences: It is the policy of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) that all participants at an IUPAP-supported Conference will enjoy a comfortable experience, and that they will treat each other with respect at all times. The conference organisers will appoint two advisors at the conference who will consult with those who have suffered from harassment and who will suggest ways of redressing their problems, and an advisor who will counsel those accused of harassment.
