SPP2026 Conference Aims and Scope
Abstract
The 44th SPP Physics Conference and Annual Meeting takes place from 17 to 20 June 2026 at the Institute of Physics, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Los Baños. As the flagship gathering of the Samahang Pisika ng Pilipinas, the conference aims to advance the frontiers of physics research, foster meaningful exchange of ideas, and strengthen collaborations across institutions and disciplines. It provides a platform for students, educators, researchers, and professionals to present their work, engage in scholarly dialogue, and build connections within the scientific community.
Guided by the theme Convergence, this year's meeting emphasizes the integration of diverse perspectives, methodologies, and subfields of physics, as well as linkages with allied disciplines. Through plenary and parallel sessions, the program highlights current developments in research while encouraging interdisciplinary approaches to complex scientific challenges.
This year's Conference also has special sessions with the theme Current Trends in Computational Materials Science: From Low-Dimensional Systems to High-Throughput Materials Discovery, which are held in collaboration with the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS). These sessions aim to showcase emerging advances in computational materials research, promote regional collaboration, and support the development of early-career scientists.
In addition to these special sessions, the different contributed peer-reviewed Full Articles are distributed across three days of oral and poster sessions, while the editorially screened Extended Abstracts are presented as posters. The scope of these sessions cover the many fields of expertise of the Philippine physics community, including Biological and Medical Physics, Complex Systems and Data Analytics, Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science, Gravitational Physics and Astrophysics, High Energy and Nuclear Physics, Optics and Photonics, Quantum Science and Technology, and Theoretical and Mathematical Physics.
