European XFEL will host the sixth international Public Awareness and Engagement with Research Infrastructures (PAERI) conference in the Hamburg region of Germany. The conference theme is Navigating Science Communication in a Shifting Landscape.
The conference will take place from 18 to 20 March 2026.
The venue is on the campus of European XFEL, the world’s largest X-ray laser. The 3.4 km-long facility generates extremely intense X-ray flashes used by researchers worldwide to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, and study processes like those in the interior of planets.
