Description

Welcome to Fink@World!

 

After 7 years of continuous learning and improvement with ZTF data, in February  2026 Fink has successfully started to stream alerts from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

To celebrate this milestone, present first results, as well as to plan the next years of Fink's development, we hope to see you all in the south of Paris.

This is our first world-wide Fink event! 

The program will host a number of contributed talks and plenty of time for collaborative work whether you have an existing science analysis or a future development. We will also have discussions about our future plans.
 
In addition, every morning for 2 hours, we will run a school where you can learn about cloud computing, machine learning, and Fink/LSST data services. 


Note that talks will be streamed but remote presentations are not envisaged.

The meeting will happen at Institut Pascal - Orsay, France , between 8 - 12 June 2026.

Due to limited space, pre-registrations are open until 5 April 2026. Notifications of acceptance will be sent shortly after.

There is no registration fee. 

Our venue holds a maximum of 60 participants, thus preference will be given for students, those currently working in Fink and active users.
