The Australian-New Zealand Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Conference, colloquially known as “Wagga”, has been held almost annually as a residential conference at the Charles Sturt University Conference Centre, Wagga Wagga, NSW, during early February, since 1977. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, in-person conference where we can catch up and hear about recent advances in condensed matter research from around Australia and New Zealand.
In 2026 we are welcoming members of the Asia Pacific Condensed Matter Physics community to Australia! The AIP is a member of the Association of Asia Pacific Physics Societies (AAPPS) supporting physics research and collaboration throughout the Aisa-Pacific region. Since 2021, the AIP has also had representation on the executive committee of the AAPPS subgroup, the Division of Condensed Matter Physics.
The organising committee for the 48th Annual CMM meeting includes:
Chair: Kirrily Rule (NSW)
Program Chair: Hai-Hu Wen (DCMP)
Treasurer: Wayne Hutchison (ACT)
Sponsorship: Trevor Finlayson (VIC)
Dmitry Efimkin (VIC)

Our aim is to facilitate an inclusive Meeting that encourages the free exchange of ideas and welcomes all voices in a respectful atmosphere. We invite participation from people of all races, ethnicities, genders, religions, nationalities, ages, sexual orientations and abilities.
As organisers, we are working to try to provide a balanced and diverse program. You can help us build a better, more inclusive summer meeting by forwarding our Call for Abstracts throughout your network, and by sending along your suggestions for presenters and participants who might help to diversify the Meeting.
For the 48th Annual Condensed Matter and Materials Meeting 2026, and the 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Condensed Matter Physics 2026, we will set clearly articulated goals for diversity, which will be shared on this page.
Official Diversity and Equity Statement
The Meeting Organisers are committed to providing a meeting that aims to uphold the principles of equity and diversity. We acknowledge that inequality exists in the scientific community, in the application of science, and throughout the world. We are committed to providing equal opportunities, and a safe and respectful event free from discrimination. We expect our attendees to treat everyone in a respectful and inclusive manner, and to remove barriers of disadvantage.
Equity and diversity issues are wide ranging and include but are not limited to ethnicity, race, religion, colour, age, relationship status, sexual orientation, gender identity, pregnancy, carer responsibilities, socio-economic status, mental and physical health or disability, and nationality.
In order to address these principles, the organisers aim to:
