Chemistry and Physics at Low Temperatures (CPLT) 2026
2026-08-02 - 2026-08-06 | Bochum, Germany
CPLT is a biannual interdisciplinary conference for chemists and physicists interested in low temperature systems. The CPLT conference series resulted from the merger of two long-standing international conferences: the Gordon Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of Matrix-Isolated Species and the International Conference on Low Temperature Chemistry.
Topics include:

Reactive and unstable species, radicals, intermediates
Photochemistry
Atmospheric & astrochemical species, astrochemical ices
Biomolecules in matrices and jet-cooled beams
Quantum hosts, New methods and applications
Tunneling & dynamics
Ultracold molecules
Cryosynthesis, materials, clathrates
Theory helping cryogenic studies

VIII Photonics meets Biology Summer School
2026-08-03 - 2026-08-07 | Spetses, Spetses, Greece
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 8th “Photonics meets Biology” Summer School, which will take place in Spetses, Greece, from 3 to 7 August 2026.
The Summer School will bring together students and leading lecturers for an intensive and stimulating week of lectures, a poster session, a “Hot Topics” session with short talks, and networking activities, with a strong focus on photonics at the interface with biology. It will provide a unique opportunity to learn about the latest advances in the field, interact closely with internationally recognized experts, and engage with fellow young researchers.
We encourage students with interests in photonics, biophotonics, biomedical optics, and related areas to join us for this exciting event.
Further details regarding the scientific program, registration, logistics, and accommodation options will be shared shortly.
The school is partially supported by COST Action CA23125 (TETRA), which will provide financial support for a number of students.
We would be delighted to welcome you to Spetses for what promises to be anotherinspiring and engaging Summer School.
With best regards,
Maria Farsari, Edik Rafailov, Giannis Zacharakis, Tatiana Gric
