We are pleased to announce the first edition of the “Advances in X-ray and Gamma RAy DEtectors and applications (XGRADE)” workshop that will be held at University of Palermo, Italy on 24-26 March 2026.
XGRADE2026 is the first event organized in the framework of the COST Action CA24131-ENRICH: European Network for radiation-detection based Research and Innovation addressing increasing societal CHallenges.
The main goal of XGRADE2026 workshop is to provide a forum for discussion of the state of the art for X-ray and gamma ray detector technology, including materials improvement, device development and characterization, electronic readout, signal processing, system development and applications. The XGRADE workshop will stimulate new ideas and collaborations among researchers working on radiation detectors and imagers for X-ray and gamma ray measurements.
All the information and the registration and abstract submission forums can be found at this link: https://indico.global/e/XGRADE2026
Deadlines for registration and abstract submission are set to 22/02/2026.
The ENRICH COST Action will provide full financial support up to 10 participants; people who are interested in receiving this support must apply for it at the registration stage and will be asked to upload a CV.
The final list of supported participants will be decided by the ENRICH Core Group, and in particular by the Leaders of WG2. Information about the final assignment of the support will be given within 29/02/2026.
We hope this workshop will be the occasion for fruitful discussion and knowledge sharing and we look forward to meet you in Palermo!
