DFS Annual Meeting
Enabling collaboration between academia and the industry
8th and 9th of June 2026, University of Southern Denmark
The DFS Annual Meeting is the highlight of the year and brings together physicists from institutes, research groups and companies across the country for two days of exciting plenary talks about the latest research, thematic parallel sessions, a poster session with prizes, a 3-course dinner, socializing and network opportunities.
Why participate ?
- get an overview of companies in industry
- get an overview of the latest research from a variety of fields
- engage with different industrial and academic talents
- students are encouraged to show case a poster and can win the poster prize!
Who participates ?
- Industry ambassadors
- PhD talent and master students presenting their projects
- Young researchers establishing their impact in their fields
- Group leaders looking for talent and collaboration across academia and industry
- STEM graduates looking for jobs
Where and when:
- 8th and 9th of June 2026
- University of Southern Denmark – 0100 – Panoramudsigten – Indgang N, Campusvej 15
- is organized in collaboration with SDU TEK and Physics.
For young researchers and students in particular, the annual meeting is an excellent opportunity to present their work to their peers, and we encourage anyone interested to submit an abstract for a short presentation or a poster. Submissions are welcome in all fields of physics.
The program comprises of both plenum talks and sessions, as well as more specific science session in our tracks. This year we are happy to present our plenum speakers

Hosting a session as chair is an amazing opportunity for young researchers, establishing their impact within a field with a mini-seminar of 90 minutes. All members of DFS are encouraged to chair a session. If interested, please contact mail@danskfysiskselskab.dk.
Free spots for Bachelor’s and Master’s students!
With the amazing support of our industri sponsors we are now able to offer:
- Free participation in the meeting – Value 1400 DKKR.
- A reimbursement grant up to 1000 DKKR to support accommodation
As part of the programme, participating students will:
- Submit an abstract for a poster or oral presentation
- Assist with a few practical tasks during the meeting
Please note that participants must be members of DFS. Student membership is 200 DKKR per year.
The amount of reimbursement depends on valid documentation of expenditures and will take place after the meeting.
