This is XRISM Science Workshop for young researchers in 2026, 
suponsored by JSPS core-to-core program.

Meeting Scope

The aim of this meeting is to provide a forum for young researchers, including graduate students, to discuss scientific results and future observation plans using the XRISM satellite. 

Date

The XRISM core-to-core Science Workshop for Young Researchers 2026 will be held on 24 - 25 August 2026.

Venue

The workshop will be held at Saitama University, Japan (Link to Access Map)The conference will be held on the 1st floor of Comprehensive Research Building 1 (総合研究棟), which is shown as No.21 in the PDF (Link to Campus Map PDF).

Presentation type & Award

• Oral or Poster: Priority for oral presentations will be given to young postdoctoral researchers and late-stage PhD students. 

• Awards: Awards will be presented to postdoctoral researchers (PDs, who received their degrees within the past three years) and to graduate students who give oral or poster presentations.

• Notes

  • We expect young researchers to present their ideas for future X-ray observation plans and/or concepts for using archived data, based on observed XRISM data and/or scientific results and prospects from XRISM or other observatories (including both your own work and that of others).

  • Senior researchers (those who got their PhD more than 4 years ago) and undergraduated students may submit a poster presentation. Please note that they will not be considered for awards in general.

  • We plan to organize a series of lectures by senior researchers. Let’s enjoy science topics.

Message from Science Organizing Committee

• Due to scheduling constraints, we are unable to accommodate all requests for oral presentations. The presentation type (oral or poster) has been assigned based on career stage rather than scientific significance. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop and let’s discuss and enjoy XRISM science.

Long-term international research visiting programs (c2c若手長期派遣事業)

• This program is limited for young researchers in Japan.
• Two of the award-winning researchers  (limited to those based in Japan) will also receive the opportunity to travel and conduct research abroad.

Registration fee
