The International Workshop on Photoionization and Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (IWP & RIXS 2014) will take place in Erice, Sicily, Italy during 26th August – 1st September, 2014 and will be hosted by the Ettore Majorana Foundation and Centre for Scientific Culture.

The aim of the workshop is to discuss excitation and ionization of a variety of targets by photon impact, as well as the decay of these photoexcited and photoionized species and the use of photon-in¬photon-out techniques. Areas of interest range from atoms to molecules, ions, radicals, clusters, liquids, adsorbates and solids.

A special session will be dedicated to the memory of Prof. Uwe Becker who was initially a chairman of the workshop.

ISMB2015 is the XXVI Edition of the Molecular Beams Conference series and will take place in Segovia, Spain, from the 28^th of June to the 3^rd of July 2015. The venue will be Parador Nacional de Segovia, an outstanding hotel and convention center located very close to medieval Segovia downtown, UNESCO Heritage city since 1985.

ISMB2015 will bring together scientists from all over the world to present and discuss the most recent advances in Molecular Beams Science, including reaction and photodissociation dynamics of neutral and ion molecules, ultrafast dynamics and coherent control, cold molecules, biomolecules, molecular clusters and helium droplets, liquid micro-jets and aerosols, beam-surface collisions, with contributions from both theory and experiment.

Following the tradition of the last Conferences, in this occasion ISMB2015 is dedicated to two outstanding scientists whose contributions and impact on Molecular Beams Science have been fundamental: Piergiorgio Casavecchia and Mike Ashfold, who will deliver plenary lectures in a special session in the afternoon of July 2, 2015.

The Conference format will include invited lectures, oral presentations selected among the abstract contributions, and poster sessions. The participation of young researchers and students is particularly welcome.

The day of arrival is Sunday, June 28, 2015, with registration during the afternoon and a reception in the evening. The program starts on Monday, June 29, 2015. The Conference will finish on the 3^rd of July at midday, after a closure session.
