</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Dear Colleague,</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">We are organizing the program INT 24-2a, "QCD at the Femtoscale in the Era of Big Data", which is to be held at the national Institute for Nuclear
Theory (INT) at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington from June 10 - July 5, 2024, with an embedded workshop (June 10-14).</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Our primary goal is to bring together senior and junior researchers in an environment stimulating for discussion and collaboration. We will try
to limit the number of seminars so that much of the time is available for individual or collaborative research.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">The program is described on our web page:<a href="https://www.int.washington.edu/programs-and-workshops/24-2a" id="LPlnk674424">https://www.int.washington.edu/programs-and-workshops/24-2a</a></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">On the website you will find an application, which we encourage you to submit as soon as possible, since the INT often has many more positive responses
than space available. We will do our best to accommodate as many of the positive respondents as possible. For full consideration, please apply by February 12th, 2024.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Please be aware that, given the continued uncertainty about the duration of travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that
the workshop week of this program may be changed to a hybrid or online event if it becomes necessary, and the remainder of the program may be rescheduled.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">We hope to see you in Seattle soon.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; background-color: white;">Sincerely,</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;"><br>
