We are excited to invite you to the 71th annual conference of the Israel Physical Society!
The conference will be held in the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Giv'at Ram campus), and will serve as a community get-together and a window into the cutting edge of physics research in Israel. During the conference physics researchers and students alike will have the opportunity to share their work with each other, learn about new developments in fields of physics beyond their field of expertise, and form professional bonds and collaborations. We will also honor the newly selected IPS Fellows and this year's IPS prize winners.
Early Bird registration deadline is 19/04/2026 (extended by a few days following requests).
Regular Registration deadline is 15/5/2026. Beyond that, late registration fees will apply.
Extended abstract submission deadline is 17/05/2026, and a final program will be published by 1/6/26.
