[Cuga] ICHEP2016-Chicago: Abstract submission (Nov. 23, 2015 - Feb. 7, 2016) - A message from Young-Kee Kim

[Lorelei Chopard]

Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that abstract submission for parallel and 
poster sessions of the 38th ICHEP 2016 in Chicago is now open and will 
remain open until Sunday, Feb. 7, 2016. Please use 
http://www.ichep2016.org/abstracts/ to submit your abstracts.

ICHEP 2016 will take place from the 3rd to the 10th of August 2016 at 
the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Chicago: physicists from around the world 
will gather to share the latest advancements in particle physics, 
astro-particle/cosmology, and accelerator science and to discuss plans 
for major future facilities and industrial opportunities.

There will be 16 parallel sessions, chosen by the International Advisory 
Committee 
(http://ichep2016.org/committees/international_advisory_committee.php):

Higgs Physics
Neutrino Physics
Beyond the Standard Model
Top Quark and Electroweak Physics
Quark and Lepton Flavor Physics
Strong Interactions and Hadron Physics
Heavy Ions
Astro-particle Physics and Cosmology
Dark Matter Detection
Formal Theory Developments
Accelerator Physics and Future Accelerator Facilities
Detector R&D and Performance
Computing and Data Handling
Education and Outreach
Technology Applications and Industrial Opportunities
Diversity and Inclusion
There will also be a poster session. Winners of the poster competition 
will be announced during the plenary session, and about fifty poster 
presenters will have an opportunity to give a 1 minute elevator speech 
on her/his poster during the plenary session.
We very strongly encourage "scientists from developing countries" and 
"young scientists" to submit abstracts for parallel and poster sessions. 
We plan to provide about 100 travel grants (e.g. lodging + registration 
fee and lodging).  The priority for the grant will be given to 
underrepresented minorities, women, persons with disabilities and 
persons from developing countries. The travel grant application process 
will be announced in January 2016.

More information about the conference is available at 
http://www.ichep2016.org/. We will provide you the names and contact 
information of the conveners of the parallel sessions by early January. 
If you have any questions or comments, please send email to 
ichep2016 at hep.uchicago.edu.

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago next year.
