The IOPS 2026 Winter Conference will take place on Wednesday 9 & Thursday 10 December 2026 at Tilburg University. So please save the date!

The summer conference in Groningen proved to be inspirational for all attending members and staff of IOPS and SMiP.

The winner of the IOPS Best Poster presentation is Anouk Bouma (TiU), and of the IOPS Best Oral presentation is Franziska Rüffer (TiU). The winner of the IOPS Best Paper Award 2025 is Jesse Boot (UvA).
The SMiP Best Presentation Award went to Malin Müller (RPTU Landau), and SMiP Best Paper Award 2025-2026 went to Paul Kelber (University of Tübingen).

We congratulate all winners, and thank the conference committee at Groningen University for making this event successful!

We look back on an inspiring and enjoyable Summer Conference 2025 at Leiden University with interesting presentations, fruitful discussions and relaxed meetings.
