Bahamas Advanced Study Institute & Conferences (BASIC 2026)


This webpage will be updated from time to time as more information becomes available.

BASIC 2026 will be a multi-disciplinary physics conference to take place 7-15 January 2026, at Stella Maris, Long Island, in the Bahamas. There will be no registration fee. A precise schedule of events will be available in due course. If you would like to attend please email one of the organizers listed below.  They will send to you a brief registration form to gather some information about your research interests.

 

The aim of the conference is to assemble  a relatively  small group of physicists who wish to discuss in an informal setting their quest to understand nature. As in previous meetings, the 2026 conference will emphasize problems in fundamental physics,  including topics from particle physics, cosmology, and gravitation, both theory and experiment, but other subjects may be discussed. A consensus among the participants will be used to select specific topics.  Of course, suggestions are always welcome for future conference themes and areas to be emphasized.

All participants will be accommodated either at Ocean Heights or at the Stella Maris Resort.  The resort is offering a discount from its regular rates.  Note that the resort offers "all inclusive" packages.  For more information about hotel reservations and travel arrangements from Nassau to Stella Maris, please contact Jill Smith (by email or by telephone: 1 242 3382050 or 51 or 27).  From time to time the Resort offers some specials.  Please see this link for details.

We look forward to receiving your suggestions and we hope to see you at the conference.


Sincerely,

Thomas Curtright , Eduardo Guendelman , and Peter West
