DESCRIPTION:\n\nLight-Cone 2026: Applications at EIC era (LC2026) is sched
 uled to take place from June 22 to 26\, 2026 at the Center for Frontiers i
 n Nuclear Science\, Stony Brook University\, NY\, USA.\nhttps://www.stonyb
 rook.edu/cfns/\n\nRegistration open: Nov 14\, 2025\nEarly-bird Registratio
 n deadline: Apr 15\, 2026\nAbstract submission open: Nov 15\, 2025\nAbstra
 ct submission deadline: Apr 10\, 2026\n\nLight-Cone 2026 continues the con
 ference series that began in 1991\, overseen by the International Light Co
 ne Advisory Committee (ILCAC). For the information on past Light Cone conf
 erences\, please refer to the ILCAC website (http://www.ilcacinc.org/past-
 meetings). These conferences have been crucial for advancing our understan
 ding of quantum field theory\, quantum chromodynamics (QCD)\, and high-ene
 rgy physics. Over time\, they also evolved into a platform for exploring d
 evelopments in hadron and nuclear physics\, with a focus on several experi
 mental facilities including upcoming EICs. These conferences serve as a hu
 b where scientists come together to exchange ideas\, cooperate on research
 \, and keep pushing the boundaries of our knowledge about the smallest bui
 lding blocks of the universe.\nThe previous conference on “Light-Cone 20
 24: Hadron Physics in the EIC era” held in Huizhou\, China (https://indi
 co.impcas.ac.cn/event/55/) emphasized to design a scientific program that 
 will inspire advancements in the leading edge of research in nuclear\, had
 ron\, and particle physics at Electron-Ion Colliders (EICs).\nLight-Cone 2
 026 also in the EIC era\, will focus on the following theoretical/experime
 ntal tools to study light cone QCD with emphasis on their applications at 
 the EIC:\nTopics: \n\nHadron Spectroscopy\nSpin Physics\nPertubative and 
 Non-Perturbative QCD\nLight Front Field Theory\nEffective Theories for Par
 ton Physics\nLattice Form Factors and Parton Physics\nQuantum Computing\nM
 achine Learning\n\n\nThe early bird registration fee for students is USD 1
 50 and for the rest the early bird registration fee is USD 300. After earl
 y bird registration deadline\, an extra USD 50 will be charged for registr
 ation.\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you in Stony Brook in June 2026 !\n
