DESCRIPTION:Dear users\,It is a great pleasure to invite and welcome you t
 o the ALBA Users' Meeting\, which will take place from 3rd to 4th of Septe
 mber 2026 at the ALBA Synchrotron in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona). I
 t will give you a unique opportunity to learn more about ALBA’s new capa
 bilities to support you in your research and provides a platform for commu
 nication and exchange within the community and with the facility.Following
  the formal approval of the ALBA II project in 2025\, this meeting will pr
 ovide an excellent occasion to share key updates on how ALBA II will trans
 form the facility\, including the beamline upgrades and new scientific cap
 abilities. We will start on the morning of September 3rd with an overview
  of the ALBA II project\, the science which will be enabled and the new to
 ols that ALBA II will deliver to the community. An important aspect\, the 
 collaboration with the community to create new capabilities within the use
 r program\, will be introduced and explained on the example of new instrum
 ents\, available within the InCAEM facility\, including a new TEM\, a scan
 ning microscopy and a High-Performance-Computing (HPC) platform with preco
 nfigured workflows. We will also discuss the opportunities which come with
  InnoFAB\, a new state-of-the-art Lab-in-FAB with 200mm wafer capabilities
 \, currently constructed in the direct neighborhood of ALBA. Early-career 
 researchers play a vital role in shaping the future of our facility. In th
 is context\, we are introducing a new Early Career Distinction Award to re
 cognize outstanding scientific work conducted using ALBA Synchrotron instr
 uments.On Friday 4th we will show the impact of ALBA II\, specifically the
  Beamline Upgrade Program\, from the user’s perspective. These parallel 
 sessions will combine technical perspectives on the upgrades with insights
  into the enhanced scientific possibilities they will enable\, featuring i
 nvited talks and contributions from leading experts across a range of disc
 iplines.You can have a look here at the draft program we are preparing for
  a successful meeting.We warmly encourage contributions from the user comm
 unity to showcase the excellent research carried out at ALBA\, through bot
 h oral presentations and posters. Please consult the important dates for a
 bstract submission.This meeting is being developed in close collaboration 
 with ALBA staff and the AUSE members\, with the aim of delivering a dynami
 c and community-driven program.We very much look forward to welcoming you 
 to Barcelona in September!             \n\nhttps://indico.cells.es/
