HNPS2026 is the 34th of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society (HNPS) series of Symposia that take place since 1990. This year, the Symposium is organized by the Department of Physics of the University of Thessaly and will be held in person on June 5 – 6, 2026, at the Library and Information Centre of the University of Thessaly in Lamia, Greece.
The HNPS Symposium aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on various aspects of Theoretical and Experimental Nuclear Physics. The scientific program is expected to include the most recent advances in the field, covering the following topics:
- Nuclear Structure
- Nuclear Reactions
- Nuclear Astrophysics
- Nuclear Physics Applications
- Accelerator Physics & Instrumentation
Registration and abstract submission will be handled online at the Symposium website. Official language for all HNPS2026 presentations (oral and poster) is English.
A limited number of accommodation grants are available for MSc and PhD students. Accommodation will be arranged by the organizers in reserved double rooms at designated hotels for two nights (June 4–6, 2026). Applicants must present a contribution at the symposium. Applications (including a CV and one letter of recommendation) and requests for further information should be sent to: vprassa@uth.gr
A number of hotels are available in Lamia. Special accommodation rates have been negotiated with selected hotels for symposium participants. Attendees are kindly requested to contact the hotels directly (by phone or email) and mention the Symposium Name in order to benefit from the discounted rates. For further details, please see the Accommodation section.
Please note that HNPS2026 is primarily planned as an in-person event in Lamia. A dedicated session of online talks (remote presentations) will be included in the scientific program and will be available exclusively to HNPS members affiliated with institutions abroad who are unable to attend in person. Eligible participants will be able to indicate their preference for online presentation during the abstract submission process.
The proceedings of HNPS2026 will be published as open-access articles after peer-review in the HNPS Advances in Nuclear Physics conference journal, supported by the National Documentation Centre (EKT) ePublishing Service, offering DOI and Scopus indexing.
Continuing the tradition of the Hellenic Nuclear Physics Society Symposia as a forum for collaboration and for showcasing the work of young researchers, the Organizing Committee invites you to participate in HNPS2026 and looks forward to welcoming you to the University of Thessaly in Lamia in June 2026.
