On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, I am pleased to share with you the First Circular of xQCD 2026 (International Workshop on Extreme QCD 2026), which will be held at Pukyong National University (PKNU), Busan, Korea, from 14–17 July 2026. The accompanying PhD School on QCD in Extreme Conditions will take place on 12–13 July 2026.

xQCD 2026 aims to bring together leading researchers and young scientists working on extreme QCD, heavy-ion physics, neutron stars, lattice QCD, and related topics. The workshop will feature invited talks by internationally recognized experts, along with selected oral and poster presentations. The PhD School will provide in-depth lectures by distinguished specialists in the field.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly circulate the attached First Circular within your institute, relevant research groups, and mailing lists. In particular, we would be grateful if you could share this information with colleagues and students who may be interested in participating.

Your support in disseminating this announcement would significantly help broaden international participation and strengthen collaboration within our community.

Should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We very much look forward to welcoming members of your institute to Busan in July 2026.

With best regards,

Seung-il Nam
