Every second week on Friday, we welcome a chat with a cup of coffee outside the control room. Meet the user coordination team, relax with your beamline scientist, inspire and be inspired by our accelerator scientists, recharge your caffeine levels for the final stretch of the week.

It is our pleasure to invite you to Berlin for the 7th International Sodium Battery Symposium, SBS-7.

In recent years, we have witnessed rapidly growing global interest in sodium batteries, driven by their increasing adoption in electric vehicles, power tools, and stationary energy storage systems.

It is therefore our great pleasure to invite you to Berlin for the 7th International Sodium Battery Symposium (SBS-7). Alternating biennially with our colleagues from IKTS in Dresden, the Sodium Battery Symposium has become a key meeting point for researchers and industry leaders in this field.

From macroscopic materials down to individual macromolecules, modern infrared (IR) spectroscopy now spans vast spatial scales. Given the immense scope and recent breakthroughs in near-field nano-IR we are pleased to announce a workshop focused exclusively on the current capabilities of modern IR spectroscopy. Organized in collaboration with HU the workshop will take place as a "satellite" meeting of the annual meeting "Make and Measure: Interfaces 2026" making it easy to attend both of these closely related events within a single week.

By bringing together experts across multi-scale dimensions, we aim to bridge the gap between macroscopic material analysis and nano-scale breakthroughs, promoting the application of the modern IR techniques by the scientific community.

With the series of annual user meetings, we bring together our user community to intensify scientific exchange and stimulating new collaborations. The meetings will provide an overview of the many exciting and inspiring research results obtained at our facility in the past year and will emphasize on future developments in particular on BESSY III. Plenary talks, discussions, a public lecture, the market place of innovation and a poster session will provide vast possibilities of information and discussion. The bestowals of the 'Prizes for Young Scientists' donated by the Freundeskreis Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin e.V. (FHZB) are traditional highlights of the user meetings.
