Welcome to UKMHD 2026
UK Magnetohydrodynamics (UKMHD) will be held at the University of Glasgow on June 4th and 5th. This annual meeting has been running since 1978 and is a key forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in theoretical and computational MHD. A history of the meeting can be found here.
Contributions for presentations, both talks and posters, are warmly invited. All contributions by scientists at any stage of their careers, from PhD student to senior professor, are equally welcome. This year there will be two prizes, sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society, of £100 each for the best poster and oral presentation by an early career researcher.
This year, we have two keynote speakers: Dr Ravindra Desai (University of Warwick) and Professor Tamara Rogers (University of Newcastle).
Abstract submission
Abstract submission for talks and posters is now open and will close on May 10th. Please follow the link on the left.
Registration
Registration will become available shortly. This will include the option to participate in the conference dinner, details of which will also be available shortly.
Special Issue
A special issue related to the conference will be published in the journal Discover Space, which was originally created based on an ideal by Hannes Alfvén, one of the founders of MHD. Participants are strongly encouraged to also submit to the special issue. As well as accepting standard research articles and review, Discover Space also accepts brief reports, which are ideal for a proceedings-like contribution. For more details, please follow the above link.
