FIRST-TF annual meeting 2026

The FIRST-TF research federation (LabEx) is organizing two events for the French Time-Frequency community: its general assembly and a workshop on a current topic in the field of Time-Frequency (Digital Electronics and Artificial Intelligence for Time-Frequency—to be confirmed).

These events will provide an opportunity for a broad community to come together, engage in scientific discussions, and learn about FIRST-TF’s activities.
The various events will take place in Paris at the Cordeliers campus (15 rue de l’École-de-médecine, 75006 Paris).
Tours of time-frequency-related laboratories will be offered by the laboratories on Paris’s Rive Gauche (MONARIS, LKB—Jussieu and ENS sites).

The dates, announced in April in the FIRST-TF newsletter, are confirmed:
October 1 and 2, 2026

Program details will be available at a later date

The schedule for the FIRST-TF General Assembly and the associated workshop is coordinated with the REFIMEVE General Assembly (https://www.refimeve.fr/), scheduled for September 29 and 30 at the Paris-Saclay campus, to allow participants interested in both events to plan a single trip to the Paris region.

A website (https://agfisttf2026.sciencesconf.org) will launch soon, with more detailed information on the program and registration procedures
