NASA lists October 2026 Cosmic Origins early-career workshop, with key participation details still absent

NASA’s Cosmic Origins Program announces a virtual Early Career Workshop on October 20-22, 2026, scheduled for 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern daily. Its page states an October 10 abstract deadline and broad themes for science, missions and technology, and careers, but it does not provide verifiable registration, abstract-submission, eligibility, capacity, or detailed agenda information.

DATA / PROCESSWhat the announcement confirms
0120-22 Oct 2026

Workshop format and dates

NASA’s Cosmic Origins Program lists a virtual workshop running October 20-22, 2026.
021:00-4:30 ET

Daily session window

The announced daily time is 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern. The page does not clarify whether it means EDT or EST.
03October 10

Abstract deadline shown

The page states October 10, without a year, time, time zone, or submission route. In the 2026 event context, it appears to be October 10, 2026.
04TBA

Agenda status

The three days are labelled Science, Missions & Technology, and Careers, but the detailed schedule is marked TBA.

Event details confirmed on NASA’s acquired workshop page; several participation details remain unpublished there.

03

What NASA has announced

NASA’s Cosmic Origins Program says it will hold the second Early Career Workshop online over three days in October 2026. The program describes the event as support for early-career astrophysics leaders and principal investigators, with information about Cosmic Origins science, its work, tools, and opportunities. These are the organizer’s stated aims, rather than independently measured outcomes. [Source 1]

The page says abstract submission is due October 10. It does not print a year alongside that deadline, although the surrounding event context indicates 2026 and places it 10 days before the workshop. That interpretation should be treated as contextual rather than a separately specified deadline date. [Source 1]

  • Format: virtual.
  • Dates: October 20-22, 2026.
  • Time: 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern each day.
  • Stated abstract deadline: October 10.

Programme information available so far

NASA lists one broad theme for each day and marks the associated schedule details as TBA. It also names three plenary speakers, one for each day. The source does not assign session times or provide a complete programme, so attendees cannot yet use the page to plan around individual presentations. [Source 1]

  • Day 1: Science.
  • Day 2: Missions & Technology.
  • Day 3: Careers.
  • Listed plenary speakers: John C. Mather, Shawn Domagal-Goldman, and Jane Rigby.

What remains unavailable

The source provides neither a usable registration link in the acquired record nor a confirmed participation process. It also leaves key practical questions open: who qualifies, whether there are geographic or institutional restrictions, whether attendance is limited, and what abstracts must contain. Interested participants should seek an update on the official [NASA Cosmic Origins workshop page](https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/programs/cosmic-origins/community/cosmic-origins-second-early-career-workshop-oct-2026) before submitting information or making arrangements. [Source 1]

  • Registration availability and destination are not verifiable from the acquired page.
  • Abstract submission route and requirements are absent.
  • Eligibility, capacity, fee status, and registration closing date are not stated.

Before making plans

Use NASA’s event page as the primary reference, but verify practical participation details there before relying on the listed dates.

  1. 01

    Record the virtual workshop dates: October 20-22, 2026, 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern each day.

  2. 02

    If submitting an abstract, treat October 10 as the stated deadline; the page does not give a time, time zone, submission method, or requirements.

  3. 03

    Check the event page for the registration destination and any later updates to eligibility, capacity, cost, or the detailed agenda.

07

Limits of this edition

  • The acquired page includes a reference to workshop registration, but its destination URL was not captured, so an official registration path cannot be verified from this record.

  • NASA’s page does not state whether registration is open, free, capped, or subject to a registration deadline.

  • The page does not supply abstract instructions, format rules, selection criteria, a submission link, or a deadline time and time zone.

  • It does not define “early career,” list country or institutional eligibility conditions, or state attendance limits.

  • The daily themes are available, but detailed session agendas and timings are still marked TBA. [Source 1]
