<blockquote>Dear colleagues,<br>
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 <a

target="_blank"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ichep2016.org/abstracts/">http://www.ichep2016.org/abstracts/</a></a>
to submit your abstracts.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
There will be 16 parallel sessions, chosen by the
International Advisory Committee (<a

Beyond the Standard Model<br>
Top Quark and Electroweak Physics<br>
Quark and Lepton Flavor Physics<br>
Strong Interactions and Hadron Physics<br>
Heavy Ions<br>
Astro-particle Physics and Cosmology<br>
Dark Matter Detection<br>
Formal Theory Developments<br>
Accelerator Physics and Future Accelerator Facilities<br>
Detector R&D and Performance<br>
Computing and Data Handling<br>
Education and Outreach<br>
Technology Applications and Industrial Opportunities<br>
Diversity and Inclusion<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
More information about the conference is available at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

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 <a moz-do-not-send="true"

I look forward to seeing you in Chicago next year.<br>
