The NICA days 2026 will take place in the emblematic Hotel "Nacional" in Havana, Cuba. The workshop aims to briefly review the status of the NICA project and to discuss the physics mission and the programs of the NICA experimental setups (BM@N, MPD and SPD experiments) as well as the applied research planned at the facility (project ARIADNA). The NICA days workshop will serve to advertise the project with the goal to attract new collaborators from the scientific and engineering communities, young scientists and students in particular.
This edition will be organized in the framework of the International Workshop on Nuclear and Related Techniques (NURT-2026) and the International School on Nuclear Methods and Applied Research (NUMAR-2026) both co-organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR).
