Help Shape the Future of Fornax

The Fornax Initiative is seeking researchers to participate in a virtual User Panel and provide feedback on NASA’s multi-mission, multi-archive cloud-based infrastructure for astrophysics research. During a weekday meeting in September, panelists will hear about Fornax’s goals, current status, and future plans, with time for questions and discussion. They will then contribute to a report for Fornax leadership and NASA Headquarters that will help inform planning, priorities, and budgeting.

Researchers may nominate themselves or suggest others who have agreed to participate. Send nominations to fornax-helpdesk@lists.nasa.gov by August 21, 2026.

(The Fornax Users Panel does not directly advise on the development of the mission-specific platforms hosted by STScI, e.g., Roman Research Nexus and TIKE.)
