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

[Lorelei Chopard]

The deadline for the ICHEP2016 abstract submission (Sunday, Feb. 7) is 
in less than 3 weeks.

Abstracts can be submitted using 
http://www.ichep2016.org/abstracts/ (for both oral presentations and 
posters).  Winners of the poster competition will be announced during 
the plenary session, and 50~60 poster presenters will have an 
opportunity to give a 1 minute elevator speech on her/his poster during 
the plenary session.

        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
        <mailto:ichep2016 at hep.uchicago.edu>.

        I look forward to seeing you in Chicago next year.

        On behalf of the ICHEP2016-Chicago Organizing Team
