Introduction

The Danish Nuclear Physics Meeting 2026 aims to bring together researchers working across the full spectrum of contemporary nuclear physics, from low-energy investigations of nuclear structure to high-energy studies of strongly interacting matter and fundamental constituents of nuclei.

While experimental techniques, facilities, and energy scales differ significantly between the subfields, many of the underlying scientific questions are deeply connected. How does complex nuclear structure emerge from the interactions among quarks and gluons? How do collective phenomena arise in finite nuclear systems? Which degrees of freedom are most relevant at different energy scales? Answering these questions requires ongoing dialogue between low-energy and high-energy nuclear physics communities.

The meeting provides a forum for strengthening interactions among researchers working at facilities such as ISOLDE, FRIB, and the LHC. By exploring common scientific themes, including nuclear structure, collectivity, correlations, emergent phenomena, and advanced detector technologies, we seek to foster new collaborations and identify opportunities for cross-disciplinary research.

We warmly welcome researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and students from all areas of nuclear physics to join us for two days of scientific exchange and community building at Aarhus University.
