France - guest country of the DPG Spring Meeting
For the 2026 edition of the Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section we are very happy to welcome France, represented by the Société Française de Physique (SFP), as our guest country.
On this special occasion, we will feature a number of events during the conference, which we list below. We invite all conference participants to join these events and use the opportunity to strengthen their networks with our neighbours.
We also, in particular, invite participants from France to join our highly international Spring Meeting in Dresden. Note that members of the Société Française de Physique (SFP) will be charged the same reduced registration fee as members of the DPG.
