This three-day conference will focus on presenting the latest advancements in both the technology and scientific results of high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy, while providing a platform for discussions on the future directions of instrumentation development. Each invited participant will be allocated a 30-minute time slot, including Q&A, to present their work. Topics will broadly cover instrumentation for precision spectroscopy, key themes in astrophysics, and developments in laboratory astrophysics. The conference will also provide opportunities for early-career researchers, including graduate students, to present their work and engage with the community. Also, short presentations from several key topics and institutes are planned.
A tour of RIKEN facilities is planned for the afternoon of the third day, featuring visits to the TES microcalorimeters at RIKEN, space laboratories, and accelerator facilities.
