Electron Microscopy Spring School 2024

The Electron Microscopy (EM) Spring School 2024 consists of lectures from EM experts, lab courses in cutting-edge techniques, and programming courses for beginners to experts. The school targets people who work in or are interested in the fields of material science, life science, and instrumentation/ physical science and is limited to a maximum of 40 participants. The main venue is the IRIS Adlershof in Berlin with lab courses distributed over EM laboratories in Berlin.

March 3rd to March 6th 2024 in Berlin
