The 8th International Conference on Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors, MPGD2024, will be held at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in Hefei, China, from October 14 to October 18, 2024.

The MPGD conference series started in 2009 and take place every two years. Previous MPGD conferences were organized all around the world in Kolympari, Crete, Greece (2009), Kobe, Japan (2011), Zaragoza, Spain (2013), Trieste, Italy (2015), Philadelphia, USA (2017), La Rochelle, France (2019), and Weizman, Israel (2022). The next conference, MPGD2024, is hosted by the University of Science and Technology of China.

The conference will follow the tradition of the MPGD conference series to bring together the MPGD communities from around the world to review the status and progress of worldwide MPGD research and development, discuss new results and developments in the MPGD-related fields and look toward future prospects for MPGD development and application.

The conference program will comprise a series of plenary sessions for invited and contributed talks and a poster session to offer further opportunities to present research work at the conference.

Topics covered in the conference include

● MPGD technologies

● Detector physics

● Detector performance

● Simulation and software

● Applications

● Electronics

● Production techniques

● Future perspectives
