emc2012: 15th European Microscopy Congress in Manchester is now accepting abstracts for oral and poster presentation. The deadline for submission is 16th March
The 15th European Microscopy Congress – emc2012 – to be held at the Manchester Central exhibition and conference centre in Manchester, UK, 16-21 September 2012, is now accepting abstracts for oral and poster presentation. The deadline for submission is 16th March.
The event will be Europe’s largest ever dedicated to microscopy and imaging. It includes an international conference comprising over 30 sessions within four symposia, an exhibition with over 100 companies, plus workshops and training opportunities.
“The breadth of the scientific programme – which embraces light and electron microscopy and spectroscopy across both the life and physical sciences, along with scanning probe and flow cytometry techniques – provides an unparalleled opportunity,” says Dr Debbie Stokes, the emc2012 Conference Chair. “Not only will delegates be able to immerse themselves in their own area of interest, but they will also be exposed to a range of new techniques and tools that might benefit their current work, or that could feature in their careers in the future.”
Two bursary funds are available to assist researchers in the early stages of their careers who have had contributed papers accepted. The first will cover the registration fee and will provide a contribution to travel costs. The second will provide a limited number of awards to would-be delegates from countries outside of the top 40 of the UN Human Development Reports on Education. It is designed to support those who would otherwise be unable to attend, and will cover the full cost of travel, accommodation, registration fee and other associated costs.
