The International Conference on Fundamental Physics from Quarks to Cosmos (ICFP 2026)
We are pleased to announce a significant evolution of the long-standing ICFP conference series. Since its first meeting in 2001 in Zhangjiajie, China, the International Conference on Flavor Physics (ICFP) has served as an important forum for the high-energy physics community. It has successfully fostered deep collaboration on the fundamental problem of flavor—the origins of fermion masses, mixing, CP violation, and leptonic and hadronic physics—while emphasizing the interplay between theory and experiment through the eras of the B factories, neutrino experiments, and the LHC. Following conferences in Seoul, Korea (2003), Chungli, Taiwan (2005), Beijing, China (2007), and Hanoi, Vietnam (2009), and its subsequent expansion into the International Conference on Flavor Physics and Cosmo-physics (2012, Weihai, China), this series has continued to evolve in order to address frontier problems in fundamental physics.
To reflect the increasingly interconnected and interdisciplinary nature of modern fundamental physics, and to foster broader collaboration, the series is now rebranded as the International Conference on Fundamental Physics from Quarks to Cosmos (ICFP). We are proud to retain the acronym while embracing a significantly expanded scientific scope. The new ICFP will serve as a unified platform for exploring open questions related to the evolution of the Universe.
ICFP 2026 will be held from October 24 to 26 at the scenic lakeside of Yanqi Lake, Beijing. The conference program will comprehensively cover particle physics, particle cosmology, gravitational physics, and the dark side of the Universe. We warmly invite researchers from around the world to join us for this exciting conference.
