Welcome from the Chairs
We are thrilled to announce that Symmetry 2027 — The 6th International Conference on Symmetry will be held from 25 to 28 June 2027 in Shanghai, China. Following editions in Spain and the inaugural Asian gathering at Symmetry 2025 in Hangzhou, this second Asian edition represents a continued expansion of the conference's global scope.
As a global metropolis, Shanghai provides an inspiring platform for academic exchange. Aligned with previous editions, the conference seeks to bring together academics, researchers, engineers, students and practitioners engaged in symmetry fundamentals, theoretical research, computational methods and cross-disciplinary innovation.
Key areas of focus for this conference include, but are not limited to, the following:
S1. Particle Physics and Nuclear Physics
S2. Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology
S3. Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Interdisciplinary Applications
S4. General Topics in Symmetry
We invite you to join us in Shanghai 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.
