WavemiX2025 – NEXT Annual Meeting

WavemiX2025 – NEXT COST Action Annual Meeting

Conference Starts in:

The annual meeting of  COST Action ‘NEXT’ will be held at the Institute of Physics of Zagreb (HR), 14-18th July 2025.

Scope

The main goal of NEXT is to promote the development and application of advanced non-linear extreme ultraviolet (EUV) to X-ray spectroscopic and imaging techniques, enabled by Free Electron Laser (FEL) facilities and lab-based High-order Harmonic Generation (HHG) sources. The WavemiX2025-NEXT Annual Meeting, will focus on the latest theoretical and experimental development in the models, generation and application of few-femtosecond and attosecond pulses at FELs and HHG sources, with emphasis on non-linear phenomena. The workshop main aim is to promote the discussion of novel approaches for the generation of coherent pulses in these spectral ranges and for the implementation of novel schemes of ultrafast non-linear spectroscopy.

The meeting will be organized in 18 scientific sessions, with a series of invited talks (35+5 minutes each) and contributed talks (duration 15+5 minutes each) selected by the scientific committee of the meeting. Ample time will be dedicated to general and free discussions via coffee breaks, poster sessions and round tables. This year’s special talks will be on scientific integrity, by Johannes Gierschner, Dr. rer. nat. habil. and on how to prepare a high IF paper, by Dr. Jacopo Fregoni from Springer NATURE. Finally, in the spirit of creating a bridge between industry and scientists and open possibilities for secondments, a series of short pitches talks will be given by our industry partners.

Abstract submission deadline: June 1, 2025

POSTPONED TO JUNE 23th

Registration deadline: June 23, 2025

The event is FREE OF CHARGE

If you haven’t done it yet please consider submitting an abstract: there are still some reimbursements available (as always granting will depend on budget availability with priority to ITC, gender and age balance). We are pleased to announce that awards will be given for the best poster and best oral presentation by a young scientist at the conference.
