The 9th Industrial Forum on Beryllium Opportunities & New Developments (BeYOND-IX) was held on 16 September 2022 on the North Campus of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany, in conjunction with the 15th International Workshop on Beryllium Technology (BeWS-15) and with the Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT-32 in Dubrovnik, Croatia). The workshop has been held periodically since 2009.

As the old saying goes, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” What, then, is the name for a jack of all trades who is also a master in one field—or even several? The answer: the modern researcher.

The 14th International Workshop on Beryllium Technology (BeWS-14) was held on 24-25 October 2019 at the Hotel Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, U.S.A., in conjunction with the 19th International Conference on Fusion Reactor Materials (ICFRM-19 in La Jolla, California). The workshop has generally been held once every two years since 1993.
