[Neutron] German neutron users: Register for KFN election by Friday (if you have not already registered)!

[Karin Griewatsch]

Dear neutron users,


      The KFN calls for the registration of “new” neutron users in Germany

The German user representation KFN asks all neutron users with German 
affiliation and all neutron users with German citizenship to be 
registered as voters until Friday, 9 January 2026.

If you use neutrons and your employer is based in Germany or you are a 
German citizen, have a professional qualification (at university at 
least a bachelor's degree) and are not yet registered yet, please do so at:

https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons/users/kfn%20registration%20form


      How do you know if you are already registered?

If you have received an email from the KFN on 12 November with the 
subject “[kfn-waehler] Sie sind wahlberechtigt – oder nicht? / You are 
eligible to vote – or are you?” (or have registered as voter after that 
date) you are registered as eligible to vote and do not need to take 
action.


      Why should all German neutron users be registered?

The Committee for Research with Neutrons (KFN, see 
https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons) 
represents the interests of neutron users in Germany vis-à-vis 
politicians, institutions and the public. A new KFN will be elected in 
February/March 2026, and the electoral register will be finalised in the 
coming days. The more voters (and the higher the turnout), the greater 
the political weight of the KFN.


      Please spread the news

Please forward this e-mail to colleagues who are new to neutron research 
and therefore might not have registered yet.


      To all voters: Be sure to participate in the 2026 elections!

The candidates are presented at
