From 17 to 21 August 2026, Prague hosted the 26th European Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics (EFB26). The conference brought together experts from various areas of few-body physics and provided a platform for presenting recent theoretical and experimental results.

The Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (NPI CAS) was the main organizer of the conference, with Nina Shevchenko and Daniel Gazda from the Department of Theoretical Physics playing a key role in its preparation. The conference was co-organized by the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of Charles University and the Heyrovský Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

International participation and scientific topics

EFB26 welcomed a total of 134 participants, including 24 students. Scientists from numerous countries across all continents came to Prague, representing Europe, North and South America, Asia, Australia and Africa.

The scientific programme covered a broad range of topics in contemporary few-body physics, from nuclear and hypernuclear structure, hadron physics, electroweak processes and nuclear astrophysics to atomic and molecular physics, as well as theoretical and experimental methods used to study few-body systems. The conference programme featured a total of 121 contributions, including plenary and parallel talks as well as poster presentations.

A platform for international collaboration

In addition to its scientific programme, EFB26 provided an opportunity for researchers from around the world to meet in person, exchange ideas and establish new professional connections. The conference thus contributed to further strengthening international collaboration and scientific exchange in the field of few-body physics.
