Six institutions join the research map

The research map now lists 46 institutions in 14 countries. The six new profiles come from the IR-EMPOWER 2026 programme. The workshop’s talks are among the public evidence the map’s methodology uses, and each profile was checked against the institution’s own pages and peer-reviewed publications.

Institution	Tier	What it brings
LNE, Trappes	Core	France’s national metrology institute: SI-traceable directional spectral emissivity (250 nm–20 µm) and calorimetric total hemispherical emissivity
JRC Karlsruhe	Extended	Spectral emissivity of laser-heated nuclear and ultra-refractory materials above 1500 K
BAM, Berlin	Extended	Hyperspectral thermography and emissivity-aware temperature measurement in metal additive manufacturing
IETcc-CSIC, Madrid	Extended	An open dataset of solar reflectance and thermal emittance for 236 construction materials
UNT, Denton	Engineered emissivity	Thermal-radiation coatings for spacecraft and lunar exploration
THWS, Schweinfurt / Würzburg	Emerging	Calibrated in-situ thermography for laser powder bed fusion

Every speaker institution at IR-EMPOWER 2026 now has a profile on the map, except the one company on the programme (the map lists non-commercial institutions only).
