Next IUCr 2026 Congress scheduled for August 11 – 18 in Calgary, Canada, is currently open for abstracts, registration, and hotel reservations (https://www.iucr2026.org/). Abstracts are due February 15, 2026.
The scientific program will be exceptionally strong, and it features many microsymposium sessions related to XAFS. We encourage you to browse all relevant sessions here so you are familiar with the tremendous opportunities the Congress will provide.
For those of you also interested in magnetism and magnetic materials we encourage you to look at the microsymposium MS-105: Magnetic order in complex materials: applications of resonant and non-resonant x-ray spectroscopy (schedule and session description found here), with confirmed invited speakers Dr. Daniel Haskel, Dr. Hebatalla Elnaggar and Dr. Alessandro Bombardi.
We hope you will make plans to submit an abstract and attend IUCr 2026 so that you can contribute to and benefit from the world’s largest gathering of structural scientists.
