For over 50 years this conference series has brought together experienced PIs and trainees with a common interest in arginine, pyrimidine, nucleotide and amino acid research in biology and medicine. This conference will include oral presentations and a poster session and will provide an opportunity to hear and discuss the latest trends.

icap-ican-2026

This in person only event will provide a platform for world-renowned scientists to share and discuss the recent advances in the field, with a particular focus on disease, evolution and development, repetitive elements, and the latest applications of artificial intelligence and computational tools in epigenetics research.

Our confirmed list of invited speakers includes:

1. Mathieu Lupien - Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, University Health Network, Toronto (CA)
2. Rasmus Siersbæk - University of Southern Denmark, Odense (DK)
3. Adam Phillippy - National Institutes of Health, Bethesda (US)
4. Riccardo Marioni - University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh (UK)
5. Henrik Kaessman - ZMBH, Heidelberg (DE)
6. Ines Anna Drinnenberg - Institut Curie, Paris (FR)
7. Ian Henderson - University of Cambridge, Cambridge (UK)
8. Ana Boskovic - EMBL, Rome (IT)

Plus 8 other speakers that will be chosen from submitted abstracts. There will be a prize for the best talk and Carer's Awards for participants with caring responsibilities, all kindly sponsored by the Genetics Society. Attendance is open to all, and we anticipate welcoming up to 200 participants, including students, postdoctoral researchers, and principal investigators from the UK.

The abstract submissions are open to early career researchers only, including PhD's and Postdocs. Deadline to submit your abstracts is May 3rd.

Amplitudes is an annual international conference series focused on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, string theory, and related areas of high-energy theoretical physics. Since its inception in 2009, the series has become a central meeting point for researchers developing modern analytic and geometric methods for computing amplitudes, including unitarity techniques, bootstrap approaches, on-shell methods, twistor and geometric formulations, and connections to gravity and cosmology. Each edition brings together experts, early-career researchers, and students to share recent advances, foster collaboration, and chart new directions in the study of fundamental interactions. Queen Mary will be the first institution to host Amplitudes for a second time (the first time was in 2010).

Amplitude 2026

Refund requests should be sent to the organisers by emailing amplitudes-2026@qmul.ac.uk. Requests for refunds should be made before 30 April 2026.

This conference is a yearly even organised by scientists in the biomedical polymer community, taking place throughout Europe. Two scientists are elected on the permanent organising of the AFPM conference series (currently Julien Gautrot and Christine Jerome) and organise the conference jointly with two scientists from the local organisation committee (Marina Resmini and Omar Rifaie Graham).

Brief sales conference description

The aim of the AFPM conference series is to foster interactions within the Polymer science community, focusing on materials with applications in the  biomedical field, from biotechnology to drug delivery, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to biosensing and monitoring. The AFPM series aims to bring together a multidisciplinary crowd of chemists, material scientists, physicists, biologists and clinicians.

AFPM 2026 will take place at Queen Mary University of London, on our Mile End campus, and will be jointly hosted by the School of Engineering and Materials Sciences and the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences. This will be a great opportunity for our community to discover our lively campus and enjoy some of London many attractions.

Discover the Chemical Sciences: Pathways to ‘A’ Level and Beyond

[For home-educated children (11yrs–16yrs ONLY) and their parents]

Live Chemistry Demonstration: “The Air We Breathe”; home chemistry teaching resources from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC); information on opportunities at Queen Mary University, including taster days, summer science projects, and mentoring; guidance on pathways to A Level Chemistry and beyond.

The UK preterm birth conference is an international, prestigious event, bringing together clinicians, scientists and biomedical engineers working in maternity services, AI and healthcare. There will be 15 themed sessions over 2 days, a plenary debate, opening ceremony, awards ceremony and 2 special symposium by the Fetal Membrane Society and Tommy’s baby charity. Patients who have experienced preterm birth will lead in the panel debate with midwives, MPs and Baroness Amos. We are expecting abstract submissions from researchers at MSc/PhD level, early careers researchers (PDRA/Clinical) and healthcare (midwives, nurses). The event is sponsored by industry and charity partner Tommys, Little Heartbeats and the Twins Trust. We are expecting around 400 abstracts.

The Department of Drama at Queen Mary University of London is hosting the annual conference of the Theatre and Performance Research Association (TaPRA), taking place from 2–4 September 2026. TaPRA 2026 will bring together scholars and artists for three days of working group sessions, panels, and plenary events across Queen Mary’s Mile End campus. The TaPRA Gallery, where attendees can exhibit practice-based research, will unfold in BLOC, a new, state-of-the-art gallery, studio, and cinema space. An expansive social and artistic programme will run throughout the conference, drawing on the Department of Drama’s strong connections to London’s East End and the Live Art sector. For those unable to attend the conference in person, online participation will be available.

The Centre for Governance and Democracy at Queen Mary University of London (Department of Sociology, Politics, and International Relations) hosts its 2026 annual conference taking place in London on 30th April – 1st May 2026. The two-day conference will consist of paper presentations, a keynote roundtable, and bespoke training sessions for PhD students. 

The conference will feature the latest developments in position sensitive radiation detectors from leading researchers around the world, and across a wide range of scientific disciplines. The conference has a strong multidisciplinary emphasis, and encourages cross-fertilisation and transfer of ideas between researchers working in many fields. In person participation is important. The PSD conference takes place every 3 years, with the first edition held in September 1986.
