2025 IEEE NSS/MIC/RTSD Conference Update
The annual 2025 NSS/MIC/RTSD conference was a great success with over 1,800 participants. For the first time ever, this meeting was held in Japan. We received a warm welcome in Yokohama, the country’s first international port city, and at the Pacifico Yokohama North Convention Center. In this issue, we include several reports from the conference.
Upcoming Conferences
Looking ahead, the next major NPSS meeting will be the Real-Time Conference (RTC) in Elba Island, Italy, and the International Conference on Plasma Science (ICOPS) in Stateline, Nevada. The former focuses on cutting-edge real-time instrumentation and software. The latter will showcase developments in plasma science research. Rounding out our conferences, the Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC) will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
