X-lites Network Grows with New Research Initiatives & NEXT Membership!

The X-lites Network has launched three working groups for 2025 to address key areas of interest for our members:

• Early Career Development
• Facilities and Users
• Science and Technology

These groups aim to foster collaboration, support career growth, and drive advancements in extreme light research. If you’re interested in learning more or getting involved, visit the X-lites Working Group webpage for details on their focus and activities.

Additionally, we are excited to welcome NEXT to the X-lites Network! NEXT is an international initiative for Non-Linear Extreme Ultraviolet to Hard X-Ray Techniques, funded by a European Union COST Action. This effort brings together researchers working on EUV/X-ray non-linear spectroscopies at table-top HHG and XFEL light sources.
