The 2026 NIST–University Research Summit is an upcoming two-day event scheduled for June 29–July 1, 2026, at the Gaithersburg Marriott. Hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the summit invites university representatives and researchers to collaborate on high-priority areas, including quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors. It is designed as a networking and presentation platform rather than a formal announcement of new standards.
While the event aims to foster U.S. leadership in science and technology, no specific quantum standard or protocol is detailed in this announcement. Instead, the focus is on advancing measurement science and future research directions through interdisciplinary exchange. Interested speakers must submit requests by May 21, 2026, to participate in the sessions that will explore these emerging technical fields.
