IPAC26
17-05-2026 - 22-05-2026
In May, the 17th International Particle Accelerator Conference takes place in Deauville, Normandy, France. IPAC is the premier annual gathering for the global accelerator community, bringing together scientists, engineers, and industry professionals from around the world. This conference is a unique opportunity to explore the latest breakthroughs in accelerator research and development, as well as to receive updates on current and future accelerator facilities.
This conference features a scientific component, a session focused purely on industry, and an industrial trade fair. BigScience.NL will once again have a booth for the trade fair, where Dutch companies can showcase their expertise.
