We are pleased to announce the 38th European Conference on Laser Interaction with Matter (ECLIM 2026), to be held in Prague, Czech Republic, on 14-18th of September 2026.

ECLIM is a biennial conference hosted in Europe representing, since its first edition in 1966, a historic meeting for scientists working on the physics of laser-matter interaction with emphasis on laser fusion, laser-produced plasmas, particle generation and acceleration, laser-driven X-ray and EUV sources. The Conference is aimed to stimulate the development of research in the broad field of laser-matter interactions using high-power lasers, offering the opportunity to present and discuss new results and projects in a rather informal atmosphere.

The Conference topics include:

• Physics of laser-matter interaction
• Laser-generated plasmas
• Laser-plasma particle accelerators
• High-intensity Laser Facilities
• Physics of structured light
• Attosecond laser pulses
• XUV sources and HH generation
• Progress on Laser Fusion
• HIPER+ Initiative
• Physics of thermonuclear targets
• Theory of laser-matter interaction
• QED laser physics
• Laser and plasma diagnostics
• Simulation codes
