Amplitudes 2026

29 Jun 2026, 09:00 → 3 Jul 2026, 17:00 Europe/London

Arts 2 Lecture Theatre (QMUL)

Amplitudes 2026 will be held at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) from June 29 to July 3, 2026. This marks the 18^th installment of the annual conference series that gathers researchers interested in both the formal and practical aspects of scattering amplitudes. The topics discussed span a broad spectrum, ranging from pure mathematics to collider physics and gravitational waves.

The Amplitudes 2026 Summer School will take place the week after the conference from July 6 to July 10, 2026 at the University of Southampton.
