The 26th Australian Institute of Physics Congress 2026

The Australian Institute of Physics Congress is the premier gathering of physicists from across Australia and around the world. This event will bring together researchers, educators, and industry professionals to share the latest advances in physics, foster collaborations, and inspire the next generation of scientists. This year, we are delighted to co-locate with the Australian and New Zealand Conference on Optics and Photonics (ANZCOP), while also featuring the Conference on Optoelectronic and Microelectronic Materials and Devices (COMMAD) as a dedicated topical track.

Our program will feature keynote presentations, focus sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities, highlighting cutting-edge research and innovation across all fields of physics. Registration - Early bird
