We are excited to announce the 15th European Conference on Accelerators in Applied Research and Technology (ECAART 15), which will take place from September 8th to 12th, 2025, in Zurich, Switzerland. It is an honor to welcome the accelerator community back to Zurich, again 30 years after our last gathering in 1995. This conference is aimed to be an opportunity to promote personal academic collaboration, exchange scientific ideas, and strengthen connections within the field.

Abstract submission has opened on April 1st, 2025. The submission deadline is June 1st, 2025.

The main organizer is Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics, ETH Zurich.

Detailed program schedule and Book of Abstracts have been published. Please also read the presentation instructions for oral and poster contributions. Please note that some changes to the program are still possible as it is being finalized.

We are pleased to announce that the conference participants will have the possibility to take part in two additional trips, organised in addition to the already announced social outing and dinner.

Visit to the Ionplus production site will take place on Tuesday afternoon (September 9th), and will give participants an opportunity to learn more about their instrumentation. Visit to Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), central location for Switzerland’s large research facilities will take place on Friday (September 12th), following the conclusion of the official program. PSI has the world’s most powerful muon source, a unique proton and neutron source, a synchrotron and one of only five X-ray free-electron lasers with hard X-rays.

The abstract submission deadline for ECAART 15 has been extended to June 15, 2025. Please note that no further extensions will be granted.

Notifications regarding accepted abstracts will be sent in the week of July 7, 2025.

To submit your abstract, please use the official ECAART 15 submission portal: https://ecaart15.ethz.ch/abstracts/.

We have published new information regarding conference participation. You can find details about registration fees here. Furthermore, we have opened the possibility to apply for student grants.

List of invited speakers has also been published, and it will be updated as new speakers are confirmed.

In our social programme, you can read about the conference trip, dinner and welcome reception.

We have activated the online submission system for oral and poster contributions at the ECAART 15 conference.

Detailed instructions on abstract formatting and access to the submission system are available HERE. Authors will need to create a user profile to access the system. The use of the official abstract template is mandatory. Abstract submission deadline is June 1, 2025, while notifications of accepted contributions will be sent out no later than June 15, 2025.

Authors of accepted contributions will be invited to submit their research manuscripts to the conference proceedings, which will be published in a special issue of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B. Manuscript submissions will be opened on September 7, 2025, with a planned submission deadline on February 1, 2026.

We have published information about several hotel options in Zurich, with discount codes for conference participants, offering exclusive room rates and booking conditions. Please note that each hotel has a limited number of discounted rooms, so early booking is recommended. We also encourage participants to check common booking platforms for price comparison.
