 s to perform a comparative analysis of calibration strategies adopted by c
 urrent space missions operating in the infrared domain\, with emphasis on 
 evaluating their achieved scientific and instrumental performance. The wo
 rkshop will focus on identifying key calibration challenges and examining 
 the diverse methodological approaches employed to address them. This will 
 be achieved by engaging international specialists in the field to present 
 calibration schemes and the latest results from operational missions\, as 
 well as the ongoing work of missions currently under development. \nPartic
 ular emphasis will be placed on operational experience from contemporary s
 pace telescopes\, enabling cross-disciplinary knowledge transfer among ins
 trumentation specialists and scientific teams with mission-specific object
 ives. This will also serve to disseminate established best practices and e
 mpirically derived lessons learned from current infrared missions. Recent 
 advances in infrared detector technology will be presented\, and emerging 
 mission concepts will illustrate strategies for leveraging these developme
 nts.\n\nScientific Programme Overview\nThe workshop mainly addresses the t
 opics covered in the following six sessions.\n• Space Missions Overview\
 n\n\nReview of operating and upcoming space observatories equipped with st
 ate-of-the-art infrared sensors.\n• Technology Development / New Mission
  Concepts\n\n\nThe latest advances in infrared detectors and front-end ele
 ctronics technologies are presented\, along with their prospective use in 
 future mission concepts.\n• Data Acquisition / Signal Estimation\n\n\nDi
 fferent approaches to data acquisition and signal estimation strategies ar
 e compared\, with particular emphasis on innovative techniques.\n• Infra
 red Detector Characterisation\n\n\nSupport activities for detector develop
 ment\, including testing and characterisation\, are discussed. Specific me
 thodologies for assessing key detector effects are presented\, along with 
 the main simulation toolkits for infrared detectors.  \n• Pre-launch Ch
 aracterisation Strategies\n\n\nOverview of mission-specific approaches for
  end-to-end characterisation of the signal detection chain. \n• In-flig
 ht Calibration and Performance\n\n\nCase studies illustrating how detector
  systematics propagate through data processing and calibration pipelines\,
  and how they impact overall performance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\
