IOP Conferences
The Institute of Physics organises a wide range of events which bring together the community from all geographical areas to share research, support learning and to provide networking opportunities. Our special interest groups support this activity by organising events which span the discipline. All events are open and inclusive.
Our programme of online, in-person and hybrid events can be found below. If you would like to arrange an event, please submit an event proposal using the form.
Please also refer to our terms and conditions for registering to attend an event, submitting an abstract, and exhibiting or sponsorship, as well as payment information.
