The international conference Symmetry Methods in Physics (SYMPHYS-XX), organized at the initiative of the International Center for Advanced Studies of Yerevan State University, will be held from June 28 to July 2, 2027. Professor George Pogosyan, Director of the Center from 1999 to 2024, made a major contribution to the founding and development of the conference.

SYMPHYS is one of the traditional conference series, held every two years and bringing together physicists and mathematicians working on topics related to symmetry. Symmetries are present in all areas of physics, and the conference brings together physicists working across a broad range of scientific fields.

The first SYMPHYS conference took place in Obninsk in 1986, followed by four more conferences up to 1991. In 1993, it was held in Dubna (Russian Federation), and subsequently continued on a regular basis in Yerevan and Dubna. In 2004, the conference took place in Prague (Czech Republic).

The preliminary program of SYMPHYS-XX will cover the following topics:

• Symmetries in string theory, supergravity, and quantum gravity.
• Symmetries in statistical physics.
• Symmetries in condensed matter physics.
• Symmetries in nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics.
• Symmetries in chemistry, biology, and other sciences.
• Experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear reactions.
• Experimental and theoretical studies of the properties of atomic nuclei.

Applied nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, and radiation physics.

Scientific Program

The SYMPHYS-XX program will include approximately 10 invited lectures (40 + 10 minutes each), scheduled during five morning sections. The other talks (20 and 15 minutes long) will take place in the afternoon. We plan to have more than two parallel sessions. Poster presentations will take place after lunch on June 29.

Six working days are planned, starting at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, June 28, and ending on Friday, July 2. Arrival is scheduled for Sunday, June 27, and departure for Saturday, July 3.
