Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the first conference organized by the EPS Young Minds – Zaragoza Section: Young Minds – Conference for Emerging Quantum and Nanoscale Technologies (YM-EQNT), which will take place on 22–23 October 2026 in Zaragoza, Spain.
YM-EQNT has been created as a friendly and relaxed meeting where PhD students and early-career postdocs can present their research, exchange ideas and connect with other young researchers working in quantum and nanoscale technologies. The programme will include student oral presentations, invited talks and a poster session, together with several opportunities for informal discussions and networking. Best Talk and Best Poster Awards will also be presented to recognize outstanding contributions.
We are particularly honoured to welcome Professor José María de Teresa, President of the European Physical Society (EPS), and to have an invited speaker from the EPS Executive Committee as part of the programme.
And the best part: the conference is completely free of charge!
The Call for Abstracts is now open, and we invite PhD students and early-career researchers working in quantum technologies, nanoscience, nanoscale technologies and related fields to submit their work and join us in Zaragoza. The deadline for abstract submission is 18 September 2026.
All information about the conference, including the programme, registration and abstract submission, is available on our website:

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this announcement with students, young researchers and colleagues who may be interested in participating.
We look forward to welcoming you to Zaragoza for the first edition of YM-EQNT!
