The 19th SESAME Users' Meeting will take place at SESAME, Allan (Jordan), from 13 to 15 September 2026.
The Users' Meeting will bring together users, beamline scientists, facility staff and international experts to present the latest scientific results obtained at SESAME and to discuss future opportunities for research and collaboration.
The meeting will provide updates on the scientific and strategic development of the facility, including recent advances at the SESAME beamlines, new user capabilities, international collaborations and future initiatives.
The programme will feature invited keynote lectures, strategic updates, beamline developments, presentations by SESAME users covering a broad range of disciplines - including materials science, chemistry, life sciences, archaeology and cultural heritage - and discussions on future scientific opportunities. It will also include sessions on data analysis and management, cybersecurity, proposal writing, research funding, scientific publishing, and career development, together with a visit to the facility.
The meeting offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen collaborations within the SESAME community, establish new partnerships with leading international research institutions, and shape the future scientific programme of the facility.
Participants will also have the opportunity to present a scientific poster. During registration, those wishing to do so may indicate their interest and provide the research field of their contribution, allowing the programme committee to organise the poster session accordingly.
We look forward to welcoming you to SESAME in September 2026.
SESAME makes available a limited number of grants for participation in the 19th Users Meeting.
