EMAG 2011

The Electron Microscopy & Analysis Group’s bienniel Conference has established a strong reputation as a key event in the calendars of the national & international microscopy communities. This year EMAG 2011 will continue this tradition in Birmingham, (6-9 September) a city well known for its materials-based industries. The central location of Birmingham means that EMAG 2011 will be easily accessible for day visitors as well as for delegates attending the whole conference and the Advanced School. A high quality Trade Exhibition, which is at the heart of a EMAG conference, will build on the success of the Exhibition at Sheffield in 2009 with a mixture of exhibits and technical workshops. These will enable delegates to interact with vendors and witness the latest developments in microscopy and nanotechnology.

The scientific themes of EMAG 2011 will be addressed through invited and contributed oral and poster presentations. One of the principal features of the conference is the opportunity it gives to young researchers to present their work through both the symposia and the poster sessions. There will be prizes for the best student contributions. The Advanced School on Chemical Nanoanalysis will be held on Monday 5 and Tuesday 6 September to enable young researchers to expand their knowledge in a key subject theme of the conference.

The themes of EMAG 2011 will be: Quantitative interpretation of electron microscope images and spectra, Characterisation of advanced materials, New techniques and methods in electron microscopy. c/o Inst of physics.
