During its 6.5-day-long journey through the stratosphere, Sunrise III recorded excellent-quality seeing-free data in the near-UV, visible, and near-IR spectral regions. Almost 2 years after the flight, the first round of scientific papers is close to being submitted. These papers are mainly based on early data reduction levels; by the time of the meeting, fully reduced datasets will be publicly available to the solar community for scientific analysis. The increased data quality in terms of spatial resolution and polarimetric accuracy will allow exploring the solar photosphere and chromosphere in great depth.

The meeting will focus on presenting the results from the early science papers, presenting the newly reduced data and providing information on how to access them. Most importantly, everyone will have the opportunity to propose  new science projects based on Sunrise III data and on the co-observations recorded by space- and ground-based observatories during the Sunrise III flight. There will be time to discuss these projects with other participants and to form new collaborations.

Registration and abstract submission will be open from March 15 to April 15 2026.
