The workshop is organized under the patronage of the International Society for Sample Environment (ISSE) and will bring together scientists, engineers, facility staff, and users to discuss the latest developments in sample environment technologies for large-scale research facilities.
Modern scientific investigations increasingly require complex and highly specialized sample environments capable of studying gaseous, liquid, and solid materials under a wide range of physical and chemical conditions. The design, development, operation, and integration of these systems are essential to enabling cutting-edge research and maximizing the scientific output of limited beamtime resources.
A key focus of the workshop will be the exchange of knowledge and best practices related to the development of advanced sample environment capabilities, as well as efforts toward standardization, modularity, automation, and interoperability across facilities. Through technical presentations, discussions, and community engagement, the workshop aims to foster collaboration and identify future directions that will enhance the efficiency, reliability, precision, and accessibility of sample environment programs worldwide.
