Description
The IOP Particle Accelerators and Beams group invite the community to our two-day Annual Conference; the UKโs premier national event in the field of particle accelerators. The scientific programme will feature plenary and keynote talks, a panel discussion, parallel sessions and a poster session. The conference is intended to bring the entire community together for two days of vibrant physics discussion, knowledge sharing and networking. We encourage participants at all career stages from PhD, through postdoc to senior professors to attend.
This year, we welcome you to the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, for an in-person conference on June 29 and 30. The start time is 10:00, with talks from 10:40, to allow for a long lunch break with a Poster Session. The first day will end with an evening Civic Reception and Conference Dinner where the Group and Poster Prizes will be awarded. Participants can take the opportunity to tour Strathclyde's laser-based accelerator SCAPA facility at the end of the second day. This promises to be a very special event and we hope that you will join us for this exciting UK conference!
We strongly encourage colleagues to submit an abstract for a poster or oral presentation.
