On 8 July 2019, the 26th International Conference on Integrable Systems and Quantum symmetries (ISQS-26) was launched in Prague, the Czech Republic.

The Conference is organized jointly by the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague and the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. The ISQS-26 Conference continues the series of annual meetings held in the Czech Technical University held since 1992.

The scientific programme of the Conference is devoted to problems of mathematical physics related to the theory of integrable systems, quantum groups and quantum symmetries:

• Quantum Integrable systems
• Quantum groups
• Noncommutative geometry
• Quantum space-times and their quantum symmetries
• Discrete Integrable Systems and Painlevé Equations
• Supersymmetry and integrability
• Spectral asymptotics of Quantum integrable systems
• Higher Spin Field Theory
• Modern mathematical methods

During the last 3 years, each of the conferences gathered annually around 100 scientists from all over the world. Plenary lectures and contributions presented at these conferences were published in the Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, Reports on Mathematical Physics, Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications and Journal of Physics: Conference Series.

Head of the BLTP Sector Evgeny Ivanov, Head of the BLTP Department Sergey Krivonos, and BLTP Leading Researcher Armen Nersessian are among plenary lecturers of the ISQS-26 Conference.

The Conference will be held up to 12 July 2019.
