UPON 2026

The UPoN conference is a highly interdisciplinary forum in which researchers interested in random fluctuations in a variety of fields and applications can meet and discuss, in an engaging and fruitful atmosphere, the most recent advances in both theory and applications of noise and fluctuations. 

Abstracts can be submitted dealing with recent and relevant advances in the field of noise theory and applications, with special emphasis on open issues and aspects that are not yet fully understood or that require more in-depth investigation and understanding.

Conference topics include (but are not limited to):

• Fluctuations and noise in biology and in biomedicine;
• Fluctuations and noise in materials and devices;
• Noise in circuits (amplifiers, bias systems and oscillators, from ultra low frequencies to the microwave range);
• Fluctuations and noise in nano-scaled and quantum devices and systems;
• Noise in complex and non-linear systems;
• Applications of noise (assessment of quality and reliability, advanced sensing applications);
• Theory of noise and fluctuations;
• Fluctuations and noise in in mechanical systems, buildings and infrastructures;
• Noise in human activities (security, economics, etc);
• Acoustic noise;
• Fluctuations and noise in relation to deep learning and AI theory and applications;
• Fluctuations and noise and highly complex and chaotic systems, including applications to weather forecast.

UPoN 2026 is the 10th edition of the conference and we are proud to host it in Messina (Italy)!

We invite all researchers and students working in all aspects of noise and fluctuations to submit their abstracts and to participate in the conference.
Besides extremely interesting scientific sessions, with the opportunity to discuss advanced topics with the top scientists in the field of noise and fluctuations, you will also have the opportunity of enjoying the city of Messina and Sicily as a whole. Besides breathtaking natural scenarios, architecture and multi cultural testimonies dating back thousands of years, you will be able to enjoy excellent food and delicious desserts.

Information on the submission procedure, deadlines and conference fees will be be published on this site as soon as it becomes available!

Should you have any question, please contact the organizing committee by sending a mail to upon26@unime.it

We look forward to meeting you in Messina next September!
