The Call for Proposals for the 2026-II cycle for beamlines and microscopes is now open.

- **Deadline**: March 3rd, 2026, at 14:00 (CEST)

The Call for Proposals for the 2026-II cycle will cover **experiments scheduled from end of June to December 2026**, except for the MX Beamlines, which will cover the entire year.

- Information about the specifics of the **beamlines **can be obtained [here](https://www.cells.es/en/instruments/beamlines)
- Information about the specifics of the **microscopes **can be obtained [here](https://www.cells.es/en/instruments/microscopy-platform)

For those users applying to **MSPD, CLAESS** and **NOTOS**: if your proposal goes to the waiting list, it can be moved to another beamline in case enough beamtime is available. Please, indicate your preferred beamline and the second option in the text of the proposal.

Applications for researcher’s access to **beamlines and **electron** microscopes will** be submitted the [user office portal](https://userofficesystem.cells.es/).

BESSY II – call for proposals by 1st March 2026 (CET 11.59 pm)

# data[].attributes.description
Twice a year, the CLS opens a Call for Proposals during which time proposals are accepted for peer-reviewed access to beamtime in the upcoming cycle. Each cycle is typically 6 months long. Successful proposals become active projects at the CLS and remain active for 2 years. During an open Call for Proposals, beamtime requests (BTRs) for active projects can also be submitted for consideration in the upcoming cycle.

2026-2nd Call for Proposals at PAL-XFEL

We invite scientists worldwide to submit proposals for general user beamtime experiments at PAL-XFEL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory – X-ray Free Electron Laser) from August to December 2026. PAL-XFEL has three beamlines, two for hard X-ray experiments (XSS: X-ray Scattering and Spectroscopy, NCI: Nano Crystallography and Coherent Imaging) and one for soft X-ray experiments (SSS: Soft X-ray Scattering and Spectroscopy). The access to PAL-XFEL is open to the international scientific community, with the requirement that foreign users collaborate with Korean scientists being local contacts. Additionally, all applicants must contact PAL-XFEL staff scientists to discuss experimental details before submitting a beamtime proposal. There is no fee for proposal submission, but charges will apply when the experiment is conducted, as per government policy. Please register as a user of PAL and submit an application form of the PAL-XFEL proposal via the website ([https://pal.postech.ac.kr/en/index.do](https://pal.postech.ac.kr/en/index.do)).

- Call for Proposal Deadline: April 24, 2026 (Korean Standard Time)

International Conference on X-ray Microscopy (XRM) 2026 

# data[].attributes.description
The International Conference on X-ray Microscopy (XRM) is a biennial event that has brought together experts in X-ray microscopes, imaging methods, and related techniques since 1983. Featuring lectures, research presentations, posters, exhibitors, and networking opportunities, XRM highlights the latest advancements in X-ray microscopy technology and its applications across various scientific fields.

The 17th edition of the conference, XRM 2026, will take place from August 30 to September 4, 2026, in Campinas, state of São Paulo, Brazil. It will be hosted by the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), part of the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM). LNLS is home to Sirius, Brazil’s most advanced scientific infrastructure, which will be open for guided visits during the event.

UK Small Angle Scattering user meeting 2026

# data[].attributes.description
We are pleased to announce the second UK Small Angle Scattering Users Meeting to be held at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (7th-9th September 2025). This event will showcase the diverse spectrum of activities in small angle scattering. The event will have a broad scientific focus with plenary and invited speakers, setting the scene for sessions covering areas of soft matter, magnetism, polymers, energy materials, structural biology and biophysics.

The event will be focused on the science from UK users of the ILL, Diamond and ISIS facilities. In addition, the facilities will provide updates on recent developments and future plans. In the evenings Diamond House will host poster sessions and we encourage all members of the community to attend.

UK users can claim up to 150 pounds funding towards travel expenses and we will provide accommodation which will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.  
To register and to provide an abstract for a presentation and/or poster please access the [registration form](https://www.isis.stfc.ac.uk/events/uk-small-angle-scattering-user-meeting-2026).
