The Nordic Lattice meeting is an annual event designed to foster collaboration between and beyond the Nordic countries. Previously, it was held in Denmark (Odense 01/2022), Finland (Helsinki 08/2022), Norway (Stavanger 06/2023), Sweden (Lund 06/2024) and Switzerland (CERN 05/2025). The Nordic lattice community is actively working on a range of topics where non-perturbative effects are of central interest, from early-Universe cosmology to precision lattice QCD calculations in the search for new physics.
The meeting will consist of a series of talks and discussions designed to spark scientific exchange and collaboration. The Edinburgh meeting will be the first one in the UK, so UK-based members of the community are particularly encouraged to participate.
Practical details: There is no conference fee. Lunch and tea/coffee breaks will be provided and all delegates are invited to attend a conference dinner on Monday 18 May. The meeting will end with the Higgs Centre Colloquium presented by Kari Rummukainen on Wednesday 20 May at 1pm.
Registration Deadline: 1 April 2026.
In-person attendance is limited so registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
Abstract Submissions: Abstracts are invited for talk or poster presentations.
Abstract Deadline: 15 April 2026
Accommodation: We recommend that you book your travel/accommodation as soon as possible, since Edinburgh is a very popular tourist destination.
Sponsors: Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics, UKLFT
