Welcome to the 9th International Conference on Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors, MPGD2026. This year's edition will be hosted by the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic, from August 30 to September 4, 2026.
Following an already long series of very exciting and proficuous gatherings which started in Crete, Grece (2009) and continued in Kobe, Japan (2011), Zaragoza, Spain (2013), Trieste, Italy (2015), Philadelphia, USA (2017), La Rochelle, France (2019), Rehovot, Israel (2022) and Hefei, China (2024), we are pleased to welcome you in Prague, a city of science, music, culture and art.
Plenary sessions of contributed talks will be preceded by invited talks that will give a broad perspective of MPGD in the realm of gaseous detectors and also other technologies. A poster session will also take place, offering a further opportunity to present research work.
The topics covered in the conference include
● Simulation and software
● Detector physics
● MPGD technologies
● Applications
● Electronics
● Production techniques
The proceedings will be published in the Journal of Instrumentation. The submission procedure will start after the conference and will be managed by JInst.
Important dates:
- Early registration and call for abstracts: 1 December
- Abstract submission deadline: 24 April
- Announcement of abstract acceptance: 22 May
- Early registration closes: 1 July
