Dear colleagues,

Applications will soon open for
CNUGS 2026<https://www.jlab.org/cnugs>
The Christopher Newport University
Graduate Summer workshop at Jefferson Lab
May 26 – June 12, 2026

CNUGS is the evolution of the long-running Hampton University’s HUGS program and will launch its expanded format beginning in 2026. This reimagined three-week summer workshop will continue HUGS’ and Jefferson Lab’s tradition of advanced training in nuclear and hadronic physics while introducing new curriculum elements in artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science, including an integrated AI/ML bootcamp and collaborative hackathon.
CNUGS will welcome up to 45 competitively selected graduate students each year who are actively engaged in graduate-level research in fundamental nuclear or particle physics. The program will be hosted at Jefferson Lab and Christopher Newport University, combining world-class lectures, hands-on sessions and professional development opportunities in a dynamic, collaborative environment.
Interested students are encouraged to apply by February 14, 2026, for full consideration. Please see https://www.jlab.org/cnugs for details and application, and feel free to share this announcement with interested students and colleagues.
Best regards,

Alberto Accardi and William Phelps
CNUGS co-directors
