The Higgs Centre will be running a three-day workshop on Factorization in QCD and Beyond on 6-8 May, 2026.

This is an in-person event, starting on Wednesday the 6th at 9am and ending on Friday the 8th at 5pm. 

The workshop addresses recent progress and open problems related to factorization at both amplitude and observable level. The main focus is

·         the method of regions and Glauber effects,
·         collinear factorization and its violation,
·         the Regge limit,
·         connections to open problems in gravity.

This workshop will constitute a small number of talks in a relaxed atmosphere, and ample time for discussion. 

Deadline for registration: 27 February 2026
