(SECUF-2026)
Huairou, Beijing
July 12 - 18, 2026

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to announce that the 5^th Conference on Physics under Synergetic Extreme Conditions and the accompanied Summer School of SECUF, together briefed as SECUF-2026, will be held in Beijing, China from July 12 to 18, 2026. We cordially invite you to participate in SECUF-2026.

The SECUF series of annual conferences and summer schools was firstly launched in 2022, for promoting academic exchange and collaboration on cutting-edge research in condensed matter physics and material science under synergetic extreme conditions. It is based on a newly accomplished user facility - Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility (SECUF) which is located in Huairou, Beijing and is now opening to academic and industrial users in China and world-wide. Previously, SECUF-2022 (online), SECUF-2023 (in person), SECUF-2024 (in person) and SECUF-2025 (in person) were successfully organized, with the participation of hundreds of invited speakers and a large audience.

SECUF-2026 consists of two parts. The first part is a Summer School, which delivers tutorial lectures on fundamental knowledges of researches under extreme physical conditions, together with the introduction of the experimental conditions available in SECUF. The second part is a Conference containing one plenary session and four parallel sessions, for exchanging newest research progresses under extreme physical conditions.

1. SECUF-2026 Sessions

Plenary Session: The conference on physics under synergetic extreme conditions.
Parallel Session 1: Emergent quantum materials and phenomena under high pressure extreme conditions.
Parallel Session 2: Novel physical properties of materials under extreme conditions
Parallel Session 3: Quantum transport in low dimensional materials and quantum devices at ultralow temperatures.
Parallel Session 4: Ultrafast physics and technology.

2. Dates and Venue

Detailed program will be updated on the website https://indico.iphy.ac.cn/e/SECUF-2026

3. Registration and Fees

No registration fee is needed. SECUF will provide free meals for the participants during the Summer School and the Conference. Participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs, except for those young scholars who have been awarded financial aid as described below. 

The number of participants of the Summer School will be limited to 120. 

Please log onto the website to register before June 22, 2026. 

4. Young Leader Project on Physics under Synergetic Extreme Conditions

Supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), SECUF-2026 will provide funding for 20 international young scholars to undertake a ten-day academic visit in China. The program includes a three-day Chinese culture immersion activity, followed by a seven-day attendance at SECUF-2026. The detailed schedule will be arranged accordingly.

Eligibility:

Applicants must be postgraduate students or postdoctoral researchers from globally renowned universities or research institutions. They must hold non-Chinese citizenship and be preferably 32 years of age or younger.

Funding Coverage:

1. Round-trip economy-class airfare.
2. Full accommodation and travel insurance for the duration of the visit.

If you want to apply for the financial support above, please register at the conference website before April 30, 2026. SECUF will select the applicants and let you know the progress, if enrollment is full during the process, registration will be closed in advance.

If you have questions or inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us (Phone: +86-10-81259001; Email: secuf_user@iphy.ac.cn).

We are looking forward to meeting you in Huairou, Beijing. Let's make unforgettable memories together!

Sincerely yours,
