[ASA] First call for HUB2026 Hack Week 16-23 March 2026 - Itacaré, Bahia, Brazil

[Caroline Foster]

Dear Colleagues,


We are now accepting applications for the HUB2026: Hyperspectral Unmixing in Bahia<https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/kQfHCROND2u0OBGo4I9flF1DNmt?domain=eatgalaxiesgroup.com.br>, which will take place 16–23 March 2026.


HUB2026 is a small, collaborative workshop for researchers and practitioners working with hyperspectral imaging (also called integral field spectroscopy). The goal is simple: bring together people from different fields— galaxy evolution, exoplanet atmospheres, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, and mineral mapping and more —to share approaches, compare workflows, and develop tools that work across spatial and hyperspectral datasets.


Why join?

  *   Work on real problems: Projects are proposed and shaped by participants during the workshop.

  *   Collaborate closely: With a small number of participants you’ll have time and space for meaningful discussion and joint development.

  *   Publish together: Publications from HUB2026 will be led by volunteers who commit to the full process, and everyone who contributes will be included as a co-author.

  *

Practical details:

  *   Accommodation (shared rooms), breakfast, and lunch are provided.

  *   No registration fee. Participants cover their own travel and per diem.

  *   Application deadline: 12 January 2026

  *   More information and application instructions: https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/kQfHCROND2u0OBGo4I9flF1DNmt?domain=eatgalaxiesgroup.com.br

“[…] it is astronomy which has made us a soul capable of comprehending nature; that under heavens always overcast and starless, the earth itself would have been for us eternally unintelligible; that we should there have seen only caprice and disorder […]”. – Henry Pointcaré in The value of Science
