DESCRIPTION:The MeV Gamma-ray Science Workshop 2026 will be held in Suz
 hou\, China (Nanjing University Suzhou Campus) from November 13 to 15\, 
 2026\, hosted by the Institute of High Energy Physics\, China and Nanjing
  University.\n\nThe MeV band remains one of the most under-explored window
 s in astrophysics. This workshop aims to bring together experts from the M
 eV gamma-ray community to shape the future of the field\, driven by next-g
 eneration observation facilities. The meeting will be highly discussion-dr
 iven\, featuring a format of in-person presentations and working group dis
 cussions.\n\nThe core objectives for this workshops are:\n\n\n	Finalize t
 he Science White Paper: Review and present sectional drafts to consolidat
 e and finalize the comprehensive MeV white paper for upcoming submission.\
 n	Refine Key Science Objectives: Engage in deep discussions on the propos
 ed science to identify and highlight the unique\, high-impact goals for fu
 ture MeV observations.\n	Bridge Science and Instrumentation: Discuss inst
 rument designs to ensure future payloads can successfully fulfill these pr
 oposed scientific goals.\n\n\nSchedule: Arrive (Registration): 13th Novem
 ber (Friday). Departure: 16th November (Monday). The conference will 
 be held from the 14th November (Saturday) to 15th November (Sunday).\n\
 nThe workshop sessions will be conducted in English\, and we anticipate ~5
 0 participants to join us. There is no registration fee. Coffee breaks a
 nd meals will be provided. Interested participants should complete the reg
 istration form by Friday Oct 23\, 2026. Lodging will be arranged in a un
 ified manner and the expenses are to be covered by the participants themse
 lves.\n\n \n\nOrganizing Committee\n\nXilu Wang (Institute of High Energy
