<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The <strong>9th Low Emittance Rings Workshop 2024</strong>, supported by the I.FAST EU project Work Package 7 on High brightness accelerators for light sources, will be held at CERN, Geneva (Switzerland) on <strong>13-16 of February 2024</strong>. The goal of the workshop is to bring together experts from the scientific communities working on low emittance lepton rings, including light source storage rings, damping rings and e+/e- circular colliders.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The workshop sessions will include:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><strong>- Low emittance ring design</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><strong>- Low emittance ring commissioning and operation</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><strong>- Collective effects and beam stability aspects</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><strong>- Associated technologies for low emittance rings</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><strong>- Machine Learning tools for design and operation</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In collaboration with the IFAST WP11 on Sustainable concepts and technologies, a day will be dedicated to presentations and discussions on <strong>Power Consumption, Efficiency and Sustainability</strong>, key aspects for the design and operation of present and future accelerators.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Students are encouraged to participate and present their work. A <strong>prize</strong> will be awarded to the <strong>best student presentation</strong> to allow for participating in a major conference presenting studies related to Low Emittance Rings.</span></p>
<p><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The programme will be organised by the <strong>Scientific Programme Committe</strong>:</span></p>
