=================================================================================
The 7th KMI International Symposium on “Quest for the Origin of Particles
and the Universe” (KMI2026)
and
Kick-off Meeting for the Dark Matter International Research Center (DarMa)

The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the
Universe (KMI) at Nagoya University will host the 7th KMI International
Symposium, “Quest for the Origin of Particles and the Universe” (KMI2026),
from November 9 to 11, 2026.

The symposium aims to review the current status and future prospects of
cutting-edge research in particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and
related fields, and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration across these
areas.

The symposium will also serve as the kick-off meeting for the Dark Matter
International Research Center (DarMa), established within KMI.
DarMa brings together researchers in particle physics, astrophysics, and
cosmology to advance interdisciplinary approaches to the dark matter
problem.

1.  Date

November 9 (Monday)–11 (Wednesday), 2026

2.  Conference Venue

The conference will be held at ES Hall on the ground floor of the
Engineering and Science (ES) Building, Higashiyama Campus, Nagoya
University.

3.  Scientific Program

The scientific program will consist of invited talks on recent theoretical
and experimental achievements and future prospects in the following areas:

– Particle physics at the energy and intensity frontiers (LHC, SuperKEKB,
J-PARC)
– Fundamental physics with neutrinos, neutrons, and muons
– High-energy hadron physics in the very forward region
– Astrophysics with gamma rays, X-rays, radio waves, and gravitational waves
– Dark matter physics
– Cosmology, dark energy, gravity, and string theory
– Applications of machine learning

Sessions dedicated to the DarMa kick-off meeting will also be organized.

The detailed program will be available on the conference website.
