Dear neutron users,<br>
<h3>The KFN calls for the registration of “new” neutron users in
Germany</h3>
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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons/users/kfn%20registration%20form">https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons/users/kfn%20registration%20form</a><br>
<h3>How do you know if you are already registered?</h3>
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.
<h3>Why should all German neutron users be registered?</h3>
The Committee for Research with Neutrons (KFN, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons">https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons</a>)
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.<br>
<h3>Please spread the news</h3>
Please forward this e-mail to colleagues who are new to neutron
research and therefore might not have registered yet.
<h3>To all voters: Be sure to participate in the 2026 elections!</h3>
