Location will be the brand-new Feringa Building on the Zernike campus of the University of Groningen.

The programme will be published later, but one of our speakers will be Amina Helmi, winner of the Kavli Prize 2026 in Astrophysics, who will give a special evening lecture in the DOT Live Planetarium in Groningen. We'll also welcome the winner of the Physica Prize 2027, the Physics Teacher of the Year (both as yet unknown), the finalists of the Young Speakers Contest and researchers from a broad scope of physics fields who will share their ideas and knowledge during focus sessions, excursions and lab tours. Another important topic will be the Nobel Prize in Physics winning research of Francis Halzen to demystify a rare group of neutrinos, tiny cosmic particles that researchers believe offer clues to how the universe evolved. 

A well-known part of the conference is the FYSICA Market, the place for companies and other organizations to present their activities. This time the market will also be the place for so-called Career Encounters in the afternoon between companies, organizations and young physicists looking for advice and ideas about a career in physics.
