DESCRIPTION:\nDear colleagues\,\nAfter its construction in the last years\
 , the DESIR building was handed over to GANIL end of October 2025. This wa
 s a big step for the DESIR project. We are now starting the preparation of
  equipment installation in the DESIR hall and envision the start of first 
 experiments in 2027-8.\nIn 2024 and 2025\, we have prepared the physics ca
 se of DESIR with a number of workshops:- General DESIR workshop: Feb. 27 -
  March 1\, 2024- LUMIERE: July 2\, 2024- BESTIOL: December 16\, 2024- DETR
 AP: May 6\, 2025\nThe next step is now the call for Letters of Intent (LOI
 s) for the first experiments in DESIR until about 2032. This call includes
  experiments with SPIRAL1 and S3-LEB beams.A workshop will take place at t
 he guest house of GANIL starting on Wednesday March 18\, 2026 at 09:00  a
 nd ending on Friday March 20\, 2026 at 12:30. The aim is to collect ideas 
 for first experiments at the start-up of DESIR. Only short abstracts are r
 equested now (see below). Detailed LOIs will be requested at a later stage
 . Several abstracts can be submitted by the same author(s). The dead-line 
 for abstract submission for the DESIR workshop is February 15\, 2026. Foll
 owing the submission of the LOI abstracts\, we will work out a detailed pr
 ogramme for the workshop.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe workshop will start
  with a presentation of the DESIR facility and the beams available at the 
 beginning of the facility operation as well as the beam preparation in DES
 IR. Following this first session\, the future users will present their ide
 as for experiments at DESIR. To prepare these LOIs\, the "beam information
 " page of the present website contains information about available beams a
 nd possible short-term developments. The workshop will be completed with a
  visit of the DESIR hall on Friday morning.\nAt the beginning of the week 
 (March 16-18\, 2026)\, an ISOL-France workshop will also take place at the
  GANIL guest house dedicated to DESIR\, S3-LEB and ALTO as well as to ISOL
 -type experiments performed by the French community elsewhere. Therefore\,
  the first session of the DESIR workshop (Wednesday morning) is organised 
 in collaboration with the ISOL-France community.\nYou can follow the woksh
