The first international workshop on the physics of Ultra Peripheral Collisions will be organized at Hotel Iberostart Tucan/Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, Mexico from December 11-15, 2023. 

There will be a student day on Sunday, December 10.  

The following research topics will be discussed:

• Recent experimental results at HERA, RHIC and LHC  
• Theoretical description of exclusive photon-proton and photon-nucleus scattering
• Nuclear PDFs developments using photon-induced data 
• Nonlinear and gluon saturation effects in photon-nucleus scattering 
• Hadronization in exclusive processes  
• Soft nucleon and nucleus interactions 
• Photoproduction in events with nuclear overlap 
• UPCs and future electron-ion colliders
