SIPE 2026

What is SIPE?

The Spanish-Italian Physics Exchange (SIPE) is an annual event that brings together passionate physics students from Spain and Italy. Born from the desire to create a bridge between our countries, SIPE is more than just a conference; it's a unique scientific and cultural experience.

Under our motto "Fisica senza confini, Física sin fronteras", we aim to break down barriers, share innovative research, and build a lasting network of future physicists. Throughout the event, participants will enjoy a vibrant mix of academic talks, visits to cutting-edge laboratories, cultural tours, and unforgettable social events.
