[NeXus-committee] Open sessions and talks in NIAC 2026?

[Aaron Brewster]

Hi folks!  Abstract submissions are live.  The idea is not necessarily to
have NIAC members speak, but it's not a hard and fast rule by any means, so
if you want to sign up, that's ok by me.  Please advertise!  Below I have
drafted an email you could forward on to your respective peers in your own
fields, as I will for mine.  Thanks all!  Here's to a great NIAC meeting!

Hi all, the NeXus International Advisory Committee (NIAC) is soliciting
user talks as part of its biennial meeting at NOBUGS on Sept 25th, 2026
in Hamburg, Germany.  We'd like to invite general users of NeXus from a
variety of fields to present how they are using NeXus, their data usage
patterns, including collection, propagation, and archival, and where they'd
like to go in the future.  Abstracts can be submitted through the NOBUGS
submission system.

The NIAC satellite meeting:

Abstract submission: https://indico.xfel.eu/event/2/abstracts/

Abstracts are due by May 3rd, 2026. Please make sure to select the "NIAC"
track when submitting an abstract for the meeting!

NeXus is a common data format for neutron, x-ray, electron, and muon
science.  It is developed as an international standard by scientists and
programmers representing major scientific facilities in Europe, Asia,
Australia, and North America in order to facilitate greater cooperation in
the analysis and visualization of neutron, x-ray, electron, and muon data.

Thanks,
-Aaron Brewster
