Summer School on Electron Microscopy Techniques 2025

Join us for Summer School on Electron Microscopy Techniques 2025, a collaborative event hosted by École Polytechnique de Montréal, 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ, Université de Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke, and the University of Toronto, in partnership with the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Facility for Electron Microscopy Research (FEMR) and the Microscopy Society of Canada (MSC-SMC).

This immersive experience will feature plenary talks, focused lectures, poster sessions, and hands-on workshops, diving into advanced techniques and data analysis in electron microscopy. Explore the latest technologies and applications through exhibitor booths presented by leading industry innovators. On the final day, we spotlight environmental applications of electron microscopy in a special plenary session.

It will be a unique chance to connect with experts, peers, and industry leaders in the field of electron microscopy sciences.
