<div class="">Dear Colleagues,<br class="">
<br class="">
We are happy to invite you to the 25th International Spin Symposium (SPIN 2023) to be held in<b class=""> Durham, NC</b>, from<b class=""> September 24-29, 2023. </b>The conference will be hosted at the Durham Convention Center in downtown Durham, near Duke
University. The Symposium is one of the pre-eminent venues bringing together theorists and experimentalists in the field of spin physics. It is held every two years, alternating between the U.S., Europe and Asia. <br class="">
<br class="">
The conference will have an exciting plenary and parallel program covering the following scientific topics:<br class="">
<br class="">
-Nucleon helicity structure<br class="">
-Spin physics in Nuclear Reactions and Nuclei<br class="">
-3D Structure of the Nucleon: TMDs<br class="">
-3D Structure of the Nucleon: GPDs and Form Factors<br class="">
-Low Energy Spin Physics with Lepton, Photon and Hadron Probes<br class="">
-Fundamental Symmetries and Spin Physics Beyond the Standard Model<br class="">
-Acceleration, Storage and Polarimetry of Polarized Beams<br class="">
-Polarized Ion and Lepton Sources and Targets<br class="">
-Future Facilities and Experiments<br class="">
-Application of Nuclear Polarization Techniques to Other Fields<br class="">
-Spin in Heavy Ion Collisions<br class="">
-Quantum computing mini-symposium<br class="">
<br class="">
A preliminary plenary program can be found on the conference webpage, <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__spin2023.phy.duke.edu&d=DwMFaQ&c=CJqEzB1piLOyyvZjb8YUQw&r=TI1-uR1CNrL-lIqQDSyKdxNA8TlS9bg3dZbKl21HDQU&m=XEei2C7I6ekJZybBNuBnF1xghSTZXzP0w4740iFFiuqjRmw7bjQlvIFhFCoyHNhP&s=w-hLuk5QVCP96LwyxtVwx8Wn_GmsdRXuzW8vA9ZQq3c&e=" data-auth="NotApplicable" class="">spin2023.phy.duke.edu</a>.<br class="">
There you can also find information on travel and accommodation as well as a list of the conveners for the scientific program.<br class="">
<br class="">
If you wish to give a talk in a parallel or poster session, <b class="">abstract submission is now open</b> and available through this website. <b class="">The submission deadline for abstracts is May 31.</b> <br class="">
We have limited funds for participants who need<b class=""> financial support, application</b> for these funds <b class="">is also available on the website.</b> Priority will given to junior participants, underrepresented groups and participants form low and
middle income countries (LMIC). <b class=""> The deadline for financial support applications is May 14.</b><br class="">
<br class="">
