1–4 Sept 2026
Queen Mary University of London, London, UK
Europe/London timezone

The conference will feature the latest developments in position sensitive radiation detectors from leading researchers around the world, and across a wide range of scientific disciplines. The conference has a strong multidisciplinary emphasis, and encourages cross-fertilisation and transfer of ideas between researchers working in many fields. In person participation is important. The PSD conference takes place every 3 years, with the first edition held in September 1986.

All sessions are plenary, starting with an overview presentation by a keynote speaker and then the research presentations on that topic.

 
Registration is now open. The early registration deadline (15 July 2026) has now passed.
 
  • Student registration: £200
  • Non-students: £400 (after 15 July)


Registration includes one place at conference dinner on Wednesday 2 September, and refreshments throughout the 4 days of the conference. Accomodation booked separately at £76/night (see instructions on registration page).

 
Call for abstracts is now closed as of 16 June 2026.
 
For those requiring an invitation or visa, please submit abstracts by 15 May 2026. (But if submitted later, please also send a direct email to Dr Seth Zenz s.zenz@qmul.ac.uk to expedite consideration.)
