The NEXT COST Action is pleased to invite companies and researchers to an online round table dedicated to strengthening collaboration between industry and the scientific community working in nonlinear EUV and X-ray technologies.

The workshop is intended to bring together leading scientists in the field of non-linear X-ray techniques using free-electron lasers. The discussions are supposed to center around how such novel techniques can be brought to impactful scientific applications and are sorted into four methodological sessions

Also this year the “School on new Computational Methods for attosecond molecular processes” will be held in Zaragoza (Spain) in June 1-5, 2026. Main aim of the school is to introduce new methods, with increasing level of complexity, for ab-initio and hybrid time-dependent systems, and advanced methods that can cope with the electronic continuum of molecules…

We are pleased to announce the COST/ZCAM school on “New Computational Methods for Attosecond Molecular Processes” that will take place in Zaragoza, Spain, from June 1st to June 5th 2026

To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11th, we have organized a special event that explores the journey from scientific excellence to institutional leadership. 

WavemiX 2026 is the annual international workshop on ultrafast EUV/X-ray science and the NEXT (COST Action CA22148) Annual Meeting. The 2026 edition will gather experimental and theoretical researchers working on- and with – free‑electron lasers (FELs) and high‑harmonic generation (HHG) sources to discuss the latest advances in non‑linear spectroscopies, attosecond physics, and ultrafast imaging.

The workshop aims to bring together the linear and non-linear spectroscopy communities with the rapidly advancing field of coherent imaging. While second harmonic generation and two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy at optical wavelengths are already established as powerful tools for visualizing cellular and tissue structures, as well as functionalized surfaces, non-linear imaging approaches at sub-100 nm wavelengths are still in their infancy.

The LINX 2026 workshop will bring together leading experts and early-career researchers to explore the rapidly advancing field of spectroscopy in liquids and soft matter. Spanning ultraviolet to X-ray regimes, the program highlights both linear and nonlinear techniques that are revolutionizing our understanding of electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics in complex systems.

Mentoring in team science looks different from traditional one-to-one mentoring. It means guiding, supporting, and learning alongside colleagues who span disciplines, roles, and perspectives.
