The XXIII Annual Workshop on Soft-Collinear Effective Theory

2 Mar 2026, 08:30 → 5 Mar 2026, 12:40 Asia/Seoul

Room 1503, 5th Floor, Building 1 (KIAS (Korea Institute for Advanced Study))

Junegone Chay (Korea University) , Hee Sok Chung (Gangneung-Wonju Natl. U) , Daekyoung Kang (Fudan University) , Chul Kim (seoultech) , June-Haak Ee (MIT) , Seyong Kim (Sejong University) , Taehyun Kwon (seoultech) , Seung J. Lee (KIAS)

Overview

The XXIII Annual Workshop on Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) will take place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from March 2 to 5, 2026, at Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS). This workshop aims to gather researchers working on SCET, resummation, and (non)perturbative QCD to exchange ideas on recent advances and their applications in particle and nuclear physics.

For those interested in giving a talk, please submit an abstract through the Call for Abstract tab, which will be opening soon. Be advised that talks are by invitation only, and submitting an abstract does not guarantee a slot for a talk.

 

Pre-Workshop School for SCET 2026 will be held from February 26 to 28 at KIAS, preceding the main workshop. The program features introductory lectures and hands-on sessions for graduate students and early-career researchers.
