Announcement regarding XAFS19 (XAFS 2025)
2025-07-14 - 2025-07-19
Cancellation of the 19th International XAFS conference in 2025 in Chicago
Dear all involved with XAFS,
As you may know, the 19th International XAFS conference (XAFS 19) was scheduled to occur in Chicago from the 14th to the 19th of July 2025.
After considering the many uncertainties with hosting an international conference in the US given the current political climate, the organizer of the 19-XAFS conference proposed its postponement. The IXAS EC voted on the subject and unanimously voted to cancel the 19-XAFS in Chicago in 2025. We appreciate your kind understanding.
We will now call for a bid to host the conference next year, XAFS 2026, and we will decide on the new venue and communicate the decision to the community as soon as possible. Please contact the IXAS chair, Kiyotaka Asakura (kytkaskr@fc.ritsumei.ac.jp), if you are interested in organizing the XAFS 2026.
The deadline of the bid paper submission is 23:59 JST on 22 April.
Thanks.
Kiyotaka Asakura IXAS Chair
Carlo Segre Chair of the 19-XAFS
