EMC 2016: The City of Lights

The City of Lyon is not only a World Heritage Site, it is also known as the City of Lights. Like the yearly festival of lights, EMC2016 aims to be innovative, startling and rich in experience.

Scientific programme highlights

With a very successful abstract submission, EMC2016 in Lyon promises to offer a high quality selection of communications. EMC 2016 will thus be one of the European milestones in Microscopy.

Starting with 9 Pre-Congress Training Courses, on 25 and 26 August, the EMC 2016 scientific programme will be dense and contain not less than 47 scientific sessions:

6 Special Scientific Workshops

6 Plenary Lectures

9 Life Sciences Sessions

9 Materials Science Sessions

9 Instrumentation & Method Sessions

4 posters sessions

2 EMS Meetings: General Assembly and Council

2 Award Ceremonies: European Microscopy Award and a Micrograph Contest Award

Spotlight on the exhibition

3700 m2 exhibition and more than 85 exhibitors from Europe and beyond

EMC 2016 will support innovation and start-ups by dedicating specific space to start-up companies. The objective is to provide them an attractive show window at a cheaper price.

The exhibition will also keep space to welcome around 20 industry workshops.

Luminous ideas

Lyon is the city of the Lumière brothers, the first filmmakers in history who made their first images in Lyon: ‘Workers leaving the Lumière Factory’.

In order to echo the invention of cinema in Lyon, EMC 2016 aims at highlighting the world of imaging and its close links with microscopy. Moreover imaging will be honoured not only through a micrograph competition but also with the development of videos on in situ microscopy and many more initiatives to be discovered onsite.
