The SRI 2024 will take place from 26 - 30 August 2024 in Hamburg (Germany). This 15th SRI conference will again be hosted by Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and the European XFEL, as the last SRI 2021 conference could only take place online. The SRI conferences are important for the worldwide community to share key experiences in scientific and technical developments. Having timely access to the latest information and new ideas is of crucial importance for the future development of all light sources, the development of the field as a whole as well as for the economic and political development of participating countries.
