Second REPLAY annual meeeting

From 4 to 6 March 2026, the REPLAY project team convened for its second annual meeting at Schloss Rauischholzhausen, a historic 19th-century hunting lodge near Giessen.

With eight participants attending in person and one joining online, the meeting provided an opportunity to review recent progress and to further refine the project’s future direction.

Particular attention was given to new functionalities in the R package Luminescence and to developments in related packages from the broader ecosystem of R packages for luminescence research, including upcoming RLumImage. Discussions also focused on REPLAY’s paraLUM component, with particular emphasis on establishing a freely accessible database of conversion factors and physical constants relevant to dosimetry in luminescence dating.

Beyond these technical developments, the meeting helped define future outreach activities, including R workshops at conferences and in online formats, as well as the preparation of written and video tutorials.
