The goal of this long program proposal is to bring together senior and junior applied mathematicians, physicists, chemists, materials scientists, engineers and biologists to discuss and debate on the current status and future perspectives of modern microscopy using computation, mathematics and modeling. Cryo-EM has revolutionized biology and life science (including very recently solving the 3D atomic structure of COVID-19, which has been greatly facilitating the development of the vaccines) and aberration-corrected electron optics and high brightness X-ray sources have transformed physical science imaging. The next steps in these fields will advance by orders of magnitude the temporal resolution and energy resolution, while maintaining atomic spatial resolution, in a variety of sample environments from near zero Kelvin in vacuum to temperatures of a thousand degrees in a highly corrosive atmosphere. These advances will transform research in macromolecules, materials, energy technologie

Mathématiques appliquées (en général),    Calcul scientifique et science des données

The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading CDI experts, applied mathematicians, physicists, materials scientists, engineers and biologists to disseminate results, exchange ideas and debate future perspectives of this rapidly growing cross-disciplinary field.

Part of the Long Program Computational Microscopy

Developing multi-dimensional electron microscopy would have transformative impact in physics, chemistry, materials science, nanoscience and other fields. Advancing the field requires integration of state-of-the-art atomic electron tomography, ptychography, 4D scanning transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques as well as powerful computational algorithms and mathematical modeling. This workshop will provide the opportunity to present and exchange ideas, share data, and introduce new tools and develop new imaging paradigms needed in a variety of fields.

LEEM-PEEM is a biennial meeting reviewing the status of surface microscopies that employ low energy electrons. The meeting promotes and disseminates applications of surface microscopies such as LEEM, PEEM, SPLEEM, SPELEEM, XPEEM and related techniques to a broad audience of interested scientists. The workshop highlights the most recent scientific advances as well as instrumental developments. Topics will cover surfaces, thin films, organic films, surface chemistry, magnetism, time resolved methods, instrumental advances and novel applications of LEEM and PEEM to other subject areas.

European Molecular Biology Organization – EMBO

Developments in scanning electron microscopes (SEM) in recent years have led to ground-breaking opportunities in volume imaging of cells and tissues. The aim of this EMBO Practical Course is to provide extensive theoretical and practical knowledge on the three main techniques for automated serial imaging based on SEM (ASI-SEM): microtome-based serial block-face SEM, focused ion beam SEM and array tomography. At the heart of the course, participants will be able to assess the potential of each technique to understand which fits best with their own scientific project. The participants will acquire the theoretical background to understand the different techniques as well as how to optimize the imaging conditions. Data processing, analysis and management, key considerations in all ASI-SEM techniques will also be covered. This EMBO Practical Course has a significant hands-on component where students participate in experimentation on i) sample preparation adapted to each ASI-SEM technique ii) operation of the hardware (SEMs, automated microtomes) and iii) image processing software (stack registration, segmentation, tracing).

The implementation of advanced algorithms with user-friendly software packages has made the cryo-EM method straightforward in practice. Despite these exciting advances, major challenges still remain, such as higher throughput, mapping continuous deformations, reconstruction of small macromolecules, and in sample preparation. For pleomorphic structures, cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is the method of choice, but it is typically limited to lower resolution compared to cryo-EM, and it remains a daunting challenge to determine macromolecular structures in situ at high resolution. Overcoming these major challenges in cryo-EM and cryo-ET requires significant advances in sample preparation, hardware development and computational algorithms. The goal of this workshop is to bring together leading experts in cryo-EM, biologists, applied mathematicians and physicists to discuss and debate the current challenges and future perspectives of this very exciting cross-disciplinary field.

The goal of the workshop is to bridge the gap between mathematicians, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers to advance data acquisition, modeling, simulation, and analysis in multimodal microscopy. It will be instrumental to build foundations for interdisciplinary research by engaging all these subject areas. This workshop will provide the opportunity to present and exchange ideas, share data, and introduce new mathematical techniques needed in this cross-disciplinary field.

European Molecular Biology Organization – EMBO

Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM) allows precise localisation of an event of interest within cells and tissues. During this course, we will focus on a specific method that has been developed at EMBL that enables the location of fluorescent proteins with high accuracy at the ultrastructural level. The course will cover both the theory and practicals of high precision CLEM, as well as opportunities to discuss their research with CLEM experts and receive practical and troubleshooting advice.

German Society for Electron Microscopy (DGE)

As in previous conferences of the German Society for Electron Microscopy (DGE), the MC2023 brings together leading experts and emerging young researchers to share their expertise and discuss current trends as well as newly discovered findings.

Optica

Focuses on the development of new and creative techniques in optical microscopy for biological or biomedical applications. Advances in optical microscopy are continually enhancing imaging performance and versatility. Examples include increasing depth penetration in scattering media, improving resolution beyond the diffraction limit, increasing speed, enhancing sensitivity and/or specificity, developing novel contrast mechanisms, addressing challenges related to intravital imaging and more.

International Union of Microbeam Analysis Societies (IUMAS)

IUMAS was founded in 1994 to promote world-wide cooperation in all aspects of microbeam analysis through the organisation of an international congress on microbeam analysis every three to four years, and by participating in joint committee's with other scientific organisations in matters relevant to microbeam analysis which are better discussed on a world scale.
