The third “European AI for Fundamental Physics Conference” (EuCAIFCon) will be held in Heidelberg, from 24th to 28th of August 2026. The aim of this event is to provide a platform for establishing new connections between AI activities across various branches of fundamental physics, by bringing together researchers that face similar challenges and/or use similar AI solutions. The conference will be organized “horizontally”: sessions are centered on specific AI methods and themes, while being cross-disciplinary regarding the scientific questions.
The conference fee amounts to 100€. It covers all the coffee breaks, 3 lunches (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) and the reception on Monday evening. The fee is to be paid either in cash when arriving or via wire transfer (detail can fe found in the registration form)
Thanks to the generous support of The European Physical Journal C, we are able to waive the conference fee for up to 10 PhD Students. If funding is a barrier to your participation, please get in touch with the organizers via email.
EuCAIFCon 2026 is organised by EuCAIF (https://eucaif.org/).
