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).

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.

Registration for the UK Preterm Birth conference covers all lunch and coffee breaks for two days at QMUL. If you would like to attend the evening reception and conference dinner, you will need to purchase a separate ticket. Further details about the conference programme at https://pretermconference.com/

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 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.

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. The conference dinner will be held on the evening of 3 September The Octagon, the last remaining building of QMUL’s historic People’s Palace. Dinner will include a welcome drink, appetizer, entrée, and light dessert. There will be a cash bar as well entertainment.

Please note: Only non‑commercial debit and credit cards are accepted; purchasing cards are excluded.

This is to launch the inclusive curriculum resources co-created with students as part of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Missing Element Grant Scheme (MEGS) to make UG chemical science curricula more inclusive. Thus, fulfilling the new key requirements (KR15 & KR16) for RSC accreditation of UG programmes.

Event start and finish times:
