2025</b></span>. The Symposium is one of the pre-eminent venues bringing together theorists and experimentalists in the field of high-energy and nuclear spin physics. It is held every two years, rotating around the globe.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 2px 0px 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
The conference series has been held jointly since 2000, combining the High Energy Spin Symposia and the Nuclear Polarization Conferences. The most recent symposia were held in Charlotteville, VA (2008), Jülich, Germany (2010), Dubna, Russia (2012), Beijing,
China (2014), Urbana Champaign, IL (2016), Ferrara, Italy (2018), Matsue, Japan (2021), and Durham, NC (2023).</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 2px 0px 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
2025 is the international year of Quantum Science and Technology and spin has been such an important part of the development of quantum physics. 2025 also marks a century since George E. Uhlenbeck and Samuel A. Goudsmit proposed the concept of spin for fundamental
particles. One can access and download the “Century of spin” poster realized by the BNL Media & Communication at
<span style="color: rgb(20, 0, 208);">https://www.bnl.gov/centuryofspin</span>.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 2px 0px 0px; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11px;">
The symposium will be organized by Shandong University, bringing together physicists in spin physics to Qingdao, a picturesque coastal city in eastern China, to share the latest advancements in the field. Participation of young physicists is strongly encouraged.</p>
