FLASH
The next call for proposals at FLASH will be related to beamtimes at FLASH2 only (i.e. beamlines FL23, FL24 and the REMI@FL26), which will be scheduled at the end of 2025 and in the first half of 2026. This FLASH2 call will be issued soon with a deadline around end of January 2025.
The FLASH facility is currently in an upgrade shutdown with an expected restart in late autumn 2025. In the present upgrade shutdown, the FLASH1 FEL branch will be equipped with external seeding which then will be commissioned end of 2025 and early 2026. First experiments with the seeded FLASH1 will be community-driven proposals and all users are warmly invited to join the process. Please contact Markus Guehr for more information on the process.
After community proposals, we will continue with proposals running through the regular PRP process also for FLASH1. We expect to publish a call for FLASH1 proposals towards the end of 2025. This FLASH1 call will then be related to beamtimes from late 2026 on.

NFFA proposals
NFFA.eu allows researchers to tackle complex nanoscience challenges that cannot be provided by any single research infrastructure alone. Combined access to resources of internationally competitive academic and research centre laboratories and Analytical Large- Scale Facilities (ALSFs) is available, with new upgrades.
