Highlights advances in time-resolved synchrotron techniques, including X-ray spectroscopy, scattering, serial crystallography, and multimodal approaches used to probe structural and functional dynamics across multiple length and timescales.

Scientific sessions focus on the challenges and strategies of performing time-resolved experiments, including sample preparation and delivery, reaction triggering and synchronization, high-throughput data collection, and analysis of large dynamic datasets. Discussions will emphasize how these approaches bridge the gap between static structural information and mechanistic understanding.
