The Centre for Theoretical Physics and Astronomy at the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences is delighted to announce that Queen Mary University of London will host Amplitudes 2026, the international conference on scattering amplitudes, from 29 June to 3 July 2026.

Amplitudes is an annual international conference series focused on scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, string theory, and related areas of high-energy theoretical physics. The series has become since its inception in 2009 a central meeting point for researchers developing modern analytic and geometric methods for computing amplitudes, including unitarity techniques, bootstrap approaches, on-shell methods, twistor and geometric formulations, and connections to gravity and cosmology.

The conference brings together leading experts, early-career researchers, and students to share recent advances, foster collaboration, and chart new directions in the study of fundamental interactions. Queen Mary will be the first institution to host Amplitudes twice, having previously held the conference in 2010.
An Amplitudes 2026 Summer School will take place the week after the conference, from 6 to 10 July 2026, at the University of Southampton. Both events are funded by SAGEX, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network funded by the European Commission.
