From 19 to 22 May 2026, the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in cooperation with the Bavarian State Archaeological Collection will host the 2026 edition of the International Conference on Neutrons in Heritage Science. The event will take place in the state collection itself, located in the heart of Munich.

The conference will highlight the use of neutrons in heritage science, but contributions using other advanced and complementary analysis techniques are also welcome. It follows an initial conference in Dongguan, China, which took place from 26 to 29 November 2024.

The conference program will offer four intense days packed with keynote speeches, contributed talks, a poster session, as well as optional tours through the state collection, an excursion and a conference dinner.

More information regarding program, timeline, registration and abstract submission will follow soon on this website.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Munich in 2026!
