DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kathrin Valerius (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology)
 \, Magnus Schlösser (Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe - Institute of Astropar
 ticle Physics)\n\n\nOverview\nWe are pleased to announce that the next ite
 ration of the Neutrino Mass Workshop (NuMass 2026)\, titled “Determinati
 on of the Absolute Electron (Anti-)Neutrino Mass”\, will take place in K
 arlsruhe\, Germany\, from April 13–16\, 2026.\nThe NuMass workshop serie
 s is dedicated to the direct determination of the neutrino mass and has es
 tablished itself as a central forum for the exchange of ideas between expe
 rimentalists and theorists working in this field. NuMass 2026 continues th
 is tradition by providing an international platform to discuss the latest 
 experimental results\, technological developments\, and theoretical advanc
 es related to absolute neutrino mass measurements.\nDirectly following the
  NuMass 2026 workshop\, a celebration symposium will be held in honor of t
 he KATRIN experiment reaching its target of 1000 days of neutrino mass mea
 surements\, hosted at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)\, Campus
  North. This symposium will highlight the achievements of KATRIN and refle
 ct on its impact on the global neutrino physics landscape. Every participa
 nt is invited to join. More information Here!\nThe KATRIN experiment\, des
 igned for the direct determination of the effective electron anti-neutrino
  mass\, has recently achieved a sub-eV upper limit and has accumulated mor
 e than 1000 days of beta-scanning marking a major milestone in the field. 
 At the same time\, new direct neutrino mass experiments using tritium\, su
 ch as Project 8\, PTOLEMY\, and QTNM\, as well as experiments based on ele
 ctron capture in Ho-163\, including ECHo and HOLMES\, are completing their
  research and development phases and reporting new experimental results an
 d novel ideas.\nThe goal of this international workshop is to fully exploi
 t the scientific potential of current and future direct neutrino mass expe
 riments and to foster in-depth discussions of experimental techniques and 
 theoretical interpretations in a synergistic environment.\n\nScientific To
 pics\nThe workshop will cover\, but is not limited to\, the following topi
 cs:\n\n\nNeutrino mass experimental overviews:neutrinoless double beta dec
 ay\, cosmology\, neutrino oscillations\, sterile neutrinos\, and the cosmi
 c neutrino background\n\n\nDirect neutrino mass measurements:beta decay an
 d electron capture (EC) end-point studies\n\n\nExperimental aspects:detect
 or technologies\, read-out electronics\, data acquisition systems\n\n\nDat
 a analysis:signal processing\, statistical analysis\, background studies\,
  calibration methods\, detector modeling\n\n\nTheory:theoretical descripti
 on of beta-decay and electron-capture spectra\n\n\n\nModus Operandi\nNuMas
 s 2026 is organized to maximize scientific exchange and cross-collaboratio
 n between different approaches to neutrino mass determination:\n\n\nResear
 chers from all neutrino mass–related fields are invited to participate.\
 n\n\nAll participants are encouraged to contribute a poster\, providing a 
 broad overview of ongoing activities and recent results.\n\nAll oral contr
 ibutions are "on invitation only".\n\nReview talks will cover adjacent and
  complementary fields\, such as cosmology\, neutrinoless double-beta decay
 \, and neutrino theory\, to place direct neutrino mass measurements in a w
 ider scientific context. \n\n\nCollaboration overview talks will be given
 \, with one dedicated overview presentation for each major experimental co
 llaboration.\n\n\nThe workshop will feature focused topical sessions (e.g.
  data analysis\, detector technology\, R&D\, and experimental strategy).Th
 ese sessions are organized by small\, cross-collaboration working groups a
 nd consist of concerted contributions resulting in a joint presentation. E
 ach presentation will introduce the topic\, summarize recent developments 
 across experiments\, and serve as a basis for extended and structured disc
 ussion.\n\n\n \nThis format is designed to strengthen cooperation between
  experiments and to identify common challenges\, synergies\, and future di
 rections in the quest for the absolute neutrino mass.\n \nSilver Sponsors
