The Circum-Pan-Pacific Symposium on High Energy Spin Physics (PacificSPIN) series was originally established to promote research in hadronic spin physics, with a particular focus on the partonic spin structure of the nucleon. Over the years, its scientific scope has expanded to encompass intriguing topics of spin polarization phenomena in heavy-ion collisions. Symposia in this series were held in Hefei(2024), Miyazaki(2019), Taipei(2015), Ji'nan(2013), Cairns(2011), Yamagata(2009), Vancouver(2007), Tokyo(2005), Washington(2003), Beijing(2001), Wako(1999), and Kobe (1996). The symposium also serves as a platform to strengthen collaboration and communication among physicists from the Circum-Pan-Pacific region and beyond, while providing valuable opportunities for young researchers to present their work.
We are pleased to announce that the next symposium, PacificSpin 2026, will be hosted by the Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan), around October or November 2026.
