<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">Photonuclear Reactions is a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent and exciting results in a wide range of subatomic
physics topics. Since 1959, the Photonuclear Gordon Research Conference has been a preeminent meeting for the discussion of new ideas and results, even at the preliminary stage, providing ample and unique opportunities for young scientists and leading researchers
to interact in the most scientifically stimulating environment. Senior researchers and younger colleagues are housed on campus at the Holderness School, and can meet in an informal, yet rigorous atmosphere. Participation from students and junior researchers
is particularly encouraged.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">Topics for the 2022 conference are: New Results in Precision Hadron Structure with Electromagnetic Probes, Femtography of Hadrons, Electrons
for Neutrinos, Hadrons in the Nuclear Medium, Low-Energy Precision Physics and Applications, Hadron Spectroscopy, From QCD to Gravitational Waves, Nuclear Physics and Quantum Information Science, Physics with an Electron-Ion Collider. </span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">The conference is structured around invited morning and evening talks, and poster sessions. The afternoons from 1:30-4:00pm are left
free to promote discussions, exchange of new ideas, and connections among colleagues, while also allowing attendees to enjoy the many outdoor activities offered by the area.</span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">Poster Competition</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">A poster competition will be organized at the beginning of the conference, and the best theory poster and experimental poster presenters
will be rewarded with the chance to present their research in a short talk during the conference. The posters will remain on display throughout the conference to promote extended and in-depth discussions. </span></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">Conference Fees</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">The cost to conference participants for registration, meals, and a single room is $950 ($900 for a shared room). If you wish to stay
off-site, the fee is $750 to cover the cost of registration and meals. It is possible to be accompanied by one or more guests for an additional fee. Even if you register at the off-site rate, it is anticipated that you will eat meals on-site with the other
attendees. See</span><a href="http://www.grc.org/regpay.aspx" data-auth="NotApplicable"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">
