Welcome to the VI Edition of the Ultrafast Science and Technology 2026, a three-day event which aims to bring together researchers, partners and companies whose development, innovation and research areas are linked to the field of ultrafast laser and their applicability in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, or Material Science.
Organised by the Specialised Group in Ultrafast Lasers (GELUR) from the Spanish Physics Royal Society (RSEF), USTS 2026 aims to interconnect and increase Spanish activity around ultra-fast and ultra-intense laser applications and to promote collaborations in the fields of ultra-fast materials processing, chemistry and molecular dynamics, biophysics, particle acceleration, plasma physics, and quantum science and technology.
The event will be held at the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) of the Universidade de Santiago de Compostela in Santiago de Compostela on November 18th-20th 2026.
The organisation encourages all researchers and their teams to submit their applications:
Abstract submission deadline: 19th June 2026.
Notification of acceptance: 15th July 2026.
Early registration deadline: 7th September 2026.
Satellite event: Matter in Action! Fall School
For the first time, the USTS conference will have a satellite event: the Fall School "Matter in Action", co-organised in conjunction with the MATRIX-CM (Matter in Action with UlTRafast OptIcal and X-ray Lasers – Comunidad de Madrid) network. The school will take place at the IGFAE premises on the 16th and 17th of November, and will include tutorial lectures by prestigious international researchers, as well as a session where students will be encouraged to present their work.
