2nd Announcement – 20 February 2026

Today, we are delighted to announce the following:

1) Abstract submission deadline.
Please submit your abstract via the website, as provided in our previous notice, by 27 March 2026.

The abstract submission site can be accessed via the following direct link:  https://icnmta26.raku-con.com/.
Alternatively, you can find the site on the conference website (https://ion-beam.jp/ICNMTA2026/).

Upon submission, you will have the option to designate your preferred presentation format, whether that be an oral presentation or a poster. We will respect your preference wherever possible, but please be aware that scheduling and venue constraints may result in acceptance of a different format. We are keen to receive a wide range of research presentations on a variety of subjects, including nuclear microprobes, accelerators and related technologies, and broader ion beam applications.

2) Early access to the registration page.
The formal announcements regarding participant registration are planned to be made around 25 March via the dedicated address on the website (https://ion-beam.jp/ICNMTA2026/).

The following link will take you to the registration page for the ICNMTA2026: https://ion-beam.jp/ICNMTA2026/registration/.

However, for those who need to contact the secretariat or confirm participation before the above date (e.g. for visa applications), the registration process itself will be made available in advance starting today.

Periodic updates will be made to this site and new options may be added. Expected additions include:
- Overall conference schedule
- List of Invited Speakers
- Welcome reception
- Excursions
- Banquet
- Site-visit tours
- Pre-conference school

Even after registration is complete, these options can be changed or added, but only up until the early bird registration deadline. Additional information, such as travel grants for young researchers, is scheduled to be added until the time registration fully opens.Please take this advantage and inform our local team, if there are anything solved individually to ensure your travel. We hope we can have your consideration on participating ICNMTA2026.

If anyone in your network would like to attend the conference but has not yet signed up to this mailing list, please share this message with them.

We look forward to welcoming you to Sendai.

Sincerely,
The ICNMTA Local Organising Committee
