From 17-22 May 2026, the International Conference of Computer Simulation of Radiation Effects in Solids (COSIRES) will take place at School of Civil Engineering of the University of Granada. COSIRES is a major international forum to present and discuss the recent achievements and advancement of computer modelling of materials effects produced by all forms of irradiation. Fundamental understanding of these phenomena is often not accessible by experiments, since they occur on very small time and length scales. A vigorous development of both computer hardware, software and theoretical methodologies occurred in recent years has pushed the field into the forefront of a modern science.

COSIRES 2026 will include a Sunday evening welcome reception, a gala dinner, and guided tours of both the historic Albaicín district and the cutting-edge IFMIF-DONES facility. 

Conference topics include, but are not limited to:

• Radiation induced defects in materials relevant for nuclear applications.
• New computational methods for radiation effects including AI.
• Modelling of emerging materials for applications in irradiation environments.
• Irradiation induced electronic excitations and electron-phonon interactions.
