Matter and Universe Days 2026 at GSI/FAIR

Around 140 researchers from DESY Hamburg, DESY Zeuthen, KIT, HI Mainz, HZDR and GSI came together at GSI/FAIR on October 19–20, 2026 for the Matter and Universe (MU) Days 2026. The meeting highlighted recent achievements within the Helmholtz Research Programme Matter and Universe (MU) — from neutrino to nuclear and hadron physics to particle physics and the connections between them — and looked ahead to the next Programme-Oriented Funding (POF) period, 2028–2034. Two days of talks and poster presentations, complemented by a visit to the FAIR facility, offered a lively platform for exchange and for discussing future research priorities. The meeting was organized by the MU topic Cosmic Matter in the Laboratory (CML), represented by its spokespersons Tetyana Galatyuk and Michael Block. The MU Poster Prize 2026 went to Carina Udrea (TU Darmstadt/GSI) and David Frese (KIT) for their outstanding poster contributions.
