+What a week! 
+Last week the [13th ROOT Users Workshop](https://cern.ch/root2025) took place in Valencia, Spain, at the Universitad Politecnica de Valencia (UPV).
+
+More than 80 scientists and students from institutes in 16 countries convened together to discuss ROOT and shape its future. The programme consisted of a number of contributions - 56 talks, 19 posters, 1 training, 1 VR booth - making it an innovative agenda, padded with generous discussion slots. We subdivided the week in four tracks: experiments and large initiatives presentations, data analysis, statistical inference and language interoperability.
+Of course, [LHC experiments were present](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/sessions/588473/#20251117), however, we also had great talks by other large communities such as [Belle II](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6782093/), [BES III](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6706603/), [Gravitational Waves](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6706597/) or [Future Linear Collider](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6706607/). The event was not even only about particle physics: we enjoyed presentations about [compiler technology](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6779508/), [finance](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6728231/) and [medical physics](https://indico.cern.ch/event/1505384/contributions/6706598/).
+
+The workshop was a very rewarding experience for the ROOT Project, and we are thankful to all the participants for making it a success. Stay tuned for the next one 😉😉!
