Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 1st International Online Conference on Symmetry (IOCSYM2026). This event is organized by the MDPI open access journal Symmetry (ISSN: 2073-8994; Impact Factor: 2.2) and will take place online from 20 to 22 October 2026. We look forward to bringing together researchers to explore the world of symmetry in this brand-new, interactive online format.

This conference represents a unique opportunity for symmetry scientists around the world to share their latest research, communicate with each other, solve problems, and suggest alternative options for creating a better future.

As well as benefiting from the energetic and dynamic nature of virtual international conferences, another advantage is that you do not need to travel to attend. You can take advantage of this opportunity from wherever you live.

This conference provides an excellent platform for researchers to present their latest findings, engage in direct discussions, and participate in online Q&A sessions.

The main topics and sessions of the conference are as follows:
S1. Mathematical Physics;
S2. High Energy Physics, Particles and Fields;
S3. Applied Physics;
S4. Astronomy, Astrophysics and Cosmology;
S5. Algebra and Geometry;
S6. Mathematical Analysis and Statistics;
S7. Applied Mathematics.

All submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee (before being published) and displayed on the website of the conference. The conference will be an online-only event, with no registration fee, and no requirement for travel or related expenses.
Outstanding contributions from each session will be eligible for conference awards. Moreover, instead of limiting presentations to a live poster session, all participants have the opportunity to upload and display their research in the form of a poster via the poster gallery on the conference website. Therefore, all participants with poster submissions for the poster gallery are now eligible for awards!

We invite you to join us online for what promises to be an enriching exchange of ideas and knowledge. Together, let us continue to unravel the mysteries of symmetry and its profound impact on our understanding of the natural world.

Warmest regards,
Prof. Dr. Sergei D. Odintsov, Institute of Space Sciences, Spain
Dr. Calogero Vetro, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy
