Welcome to ICHEP 2026

Information exchange, communication and networking have always been vital for science. It was in 1950 in Rochester, U.S.A., when the first conference of this series took place. Throughout its 70-year history, it has become undoubtedly the most prominent gathering of particle physicists in the world, with more than a thousand participants from different countries around the globe. Even in the present boom of electronic communication, scientific face-to-face meetings keep their irreplaceable role, and it is namely this conference where key results and breakthroughs have always been announced, including the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012.
