REF 2026 is the 13th edition in the series of workshops on Resummation, Evolution and Factorization. The workshop brings together specialists in different areas, from effective field theory to lattice to QCD factorization methods. It will be held at the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, NW Spain).

The Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE), a joint centre of the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) and the Xunta de Galicia, will host, from 8 to 12 June, 2026, the conference ‘Data Science and Complexity in Fundamental Physics and the Bridge to the Industry and Society‘.

The meeting aims to promote dialogue between academia and industry, as well as to highlight professional opportunities for people interested in data science and its applications to society and business.

The meeting, consisting of a school for young researchers as well as a symposium with the participation of companies from a wide range of sectors, with data science as nexus, will be held for the second time in Santiago de Compostela after previous editions in Portugal (Lisbon, Braga and Coimbra).

The 7th edition of "Beyond the Flavour Anomalies" workshop will take place in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, from April 15th to April 17th, 2026. Hosted by the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), the workshop will bring together experts from theory and experiment to discuss the latest developments in flavour physics, right after the annual winter conferences.

The event will feature presentations on Flavour Physics with experimental overviews and theoretical perspectives, covering both Standard Model and Beyond Standard Model physics. In order to encourage more informal, fruitful and insightful discussions, the number of participants is limited and participation is by invitation only. 

Next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as Cosmic Explorer and Einstein Telescope are expected to detect hundreds of thousands of compact binary mergers each year, revealing the high-frequency gravitational-wave universe across cosmic time.

In this talk, I will present forecasts for this landscape and revisit several commonly cited challenges for the next-generation era. I will begin by introducing gwforge, a lightweight Python package developed to generate realistic mock datasets and enable science-traceability studies for future detector networks. Using simulated data, I will then show that overlapping signals and the resulting foreground noise—often viewed as a major obstacle—have only a modest impact on parameter estimation for short-duration binary black hole signals. I will also discuss the role of LIGO-India in enhancing localisation in XG networks and highlight where genuine systematic limitations may arise, particularly for precision measurements such as golden dark-siren cosmology and tests of gravity.

High‑energy colliders such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN are inherently quantum machines, and so in the spirit of Richard Feynman’s original vision, natural candidates as testbeds for applications of Quantum Computing.

Although a fully fledged quantum event generator for collider scattering remains a long‑term goal, there is growing interest in the particle physics community in exploiting recent advances in Quantum Computing. Promising directions include Quantum Machine Learning for collider data analysis, faster and more precise evaluation of intricate multiloop Feynman integrals, quantum‑enhanced approaches to jet clustering and jet evolution, tracking, parton‑shower simulations, and many other emerging applications. In this colloquium, I will review key Quantum Computing applications in Particle Physics, with emphasis on theoretical predictions at high perturbative orders, and will discuss about future potential developments, particularly in the critical transition from the NISQ era to Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing.

Director: José Benlliure Anaya.

The dissertation will take place via Teams.
