International Workshop on Disordered Systems (IWDS26)
The workshop IWDS26 will take place in Montreal, Canada, from June 15 to 19, 2026: www.IWDS26.ca. It is intended to bring together experts and young researchers working in areas where disorder plays an important role. The goal is to create an engaging and motivating scientific environment in which participants can present recent advances, exchange ideas, and develop new collaborations. The workshop will have a broad scope, with a particular focus on: Transport and localization in disordered systems, Wave and quantum transport in 2D materials and nanosystems, Quantum topology in materials, Decoherence and dephasing in quantum systems, Quantum AI for disordered systems. A limited number of spots remain available for oral contributions.
Conference « Localisation 2026 »
The international school and conference, Localisation 2026, will be held at Kyoto University, Japan, from August 31st to September 11th, 2026. More details can be found on the conference website : https://www.2026.localisation.cloud . Please note the close abstract submission deadline: April 17th (Fri), 2026. The topics covered in Localisation 2026 include
– Anderson localization and transition in disordered systems (electronic, photonic, phononic, random graphs and others)
– Effects of disorder in topological insulators, semimetals, and graphene
– Quantum Hall transitions
– Many-body localization
– Localization and topology in disordered non-Hermitian systems
– Machine learning approach to disordered quantum systems
– Localization phenomena in artificial quantum systems such as cold atoms and spin ices
– Measurement-driven entanglement transitions
Complex Nanophotonics Science Camp 2026
The next Complex Nanophotonics Science Camp will take place 3-6 August 2026 at Cumberland Lodge, a historic royal residence near London. Bringing together around 60 early-career researchers and academic entrepreneurs, the Camp fosters open discussion at the interface of photonics and complexity through plenary talks, contributed presentations, posters, and evening debates. Topics include nano-optics in complex systems, metamaterials and time-varying media, wave transport, imaging in turbid media, optical neural networks, biomimetics in photonics, and more. Early-career scientists (PhD students, postdocs, and young group leaders) are invited to submit an abstract by 3 April 2026. Further details and submission guidelines are available at: https://sciencecamp.eu.
Workshop on multiple wave scattering in locally resonant materials with degrees of (dis)order
The workshop « Multiple Wave Scattering in Locally Resonant Materials with Degrees of (Dis)Order » will be held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge (UK) on 3-14 August 2026 (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/mwsw06/). It is a follow-up to the INI 2023 programme on Mathematical theory and applications of multiple wave scattering (https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/mws/). The workshop will gather applied mathematicians and theoretical physicists to advance the mathematical design and analysis of wave propagation in metamaterials and complex media for a wide variety of applications of major importance for industry
