Conferences

The 16^TH BESSY@HZB User Meeting 2024 will take place 11 to 12 December at the WISTA conference center in Berlin-Adlershof. Participation in the user meeting is free of charge.

With the series of annual user meetings we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.

Programme

The BESSY@HZB User Meeting includes the following highlights:

• The Synchrotron Session, the Public Lecture and the Bestowal of Prizes will take place on Wednesday, December 11
• Science Highlights will be presented on Wednesday, December 11 and Thursday, December 12
• The dedicated Young Scientist Session will be held on Thursday, December 12
• The programme will be concluded with a thrilling Poster Slam and a Poster Session on Thursday afternoon
• Finally, all registered participants are invited to join the "green" buffet on Thursday evening

More Information

The 2025 Joint March Meeting and April Meeting will now be called the APS Global Physics Summit. This event is the largest physics research conference in the world, uniting 14,000 members of the scientific community across all disciplines of physics.

• Learn from your research areas of interest
• Explore cross-disciplinary educational sessions and collaborative events
• Unite to advance physics and create a bright future

This joint meeting reflects the inclusivity and adjacency of many physics disciplines.

Both in-person and virtual presentation and registration options will be available.

Get to know the convenient campus

Three venues adjacent to one another — Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim Marriott, and Hilton Anaheim — make up the APS Global Physics Summit campus. Each venue will host distinct sessions represented by the traditional March Meeting and April Meeting disciplines, as well as APS units.

Cross-disciplinary sessions and networking events will take place in all three places and in the outdoor plaza that connects them. Registration will give attendees access to all venues.

• Anaheim Marriott will host April Meeting sessions: particles and fields, astrophysics, gravitational physics, nuclear physics, beams, hadronic physics, physics education research, and more.
• Anaheim Convention Center will host sessions on quantum information, condensed matter, materials physics, magnetism, computational physics, industrial and applied physics, and other March Meeting disciplines.
• Hilton Anaheim will host sessions on SPLASHY matter — soft, polymeric, living, active, statistical, heterogenous, and yielding matter, and other March Meeting disciplines.

Who attends

More than 14,000 physicists from around the globe will meet to present their research and collaborate. Both March Meeting and April Meeting disciplines will be represented by:

• More than 900 undergraduate students
• 5,500 graduate students
• Physicists from industry, academia, and national labs
• Employers recruiting for all career stages
• Scientists around the world participating via international satellite sites
