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. You can also register an event by completing the notification of events form which can be found at the end of this page.
Please find our terms and conditions for registering to attend an event, submitting an abstract, and exhibiting or sponsorship, as well as payment information.
