This year's annual HIGGS conference takes place at UCLouvain on October 26th-30th.

The HIGGS 2026 conference will showcase the most recent findings from the Large Hadron Collider experiments, focusing on the properties of the Higgs boson, Higgs boson pair production, and investigations into new physics within the scalar sector. Additionally, the conference will address the latest theoretical advancements in the Higgs sector, encompassing both frameworks within and beyond the Standard Model.

This event offers a platform for in-depth discussions regarding current methodologies for Higgs boson research, efforts to find new physics in the Higgs sector at the LHC, and the future directions post-LHC. The agenda of HIGGS 2026 features multiple sessions with both parallel and plenary presentations that cover ongoing research topics relevant to the Higgs sector.
