Upcoming Conferences

The upcoming Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) will be held July 20–24, 2026, in San Juan, Puerto Rico — easy access from the mainland U.S.A. as American citizens do not need a passport, and the official currency is the U.S. dollar. The conference will have a stimulating scientific program, excursions, and a rich social program.

Coming in the fall (September 28 – October 2, 2026) is the Radiation and its Effects on Components and Systems (RADECS). This conference will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, and promises an outstanding scientific program featuring an excellent lineup of distinguished speakers, technical visits to local facilities, as well as a superb cultural experience.

The upcoming NSS-MIC conference, to be held in Granada, Spain, will bring the NPSS community to one of Europe’s most historic and inspiring destinations. Located at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Granada offers a unique combination of world-class conference infrastructure and a rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries of history. The NSS-MIC/RTSD 2026 will take place November 7–14, 2026.
