Electron Diffraction in the Chemical Industry: The Long History

and the Bright Future

The Electron Microscopy Science Technology Platform at the Francis Crick Institute in London, UK and the Bioimaging facilities of the EMBL Heidelberg, Germany and VIB Ghent, Belgium together with ZEISS, are proud to host the 5th joint symposium on Correlative Microscopy and volume EM - this time virtually.

The whole meeting is centered on scientific sessions covering a broad range of correlative workflows, encompassing sample preparation, volume imaging, data management, visualization and analysis. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to join instrument workshops and round table discussions in a virtual way. Meet other researchers and your friends during the virtual get-together.

2020 was a particular year, keeping communication on the scientific scene on an extremely low level. We, therefore, decided to fill the information gap and organize a short workshop for keeping the community alive and updated on the progress in the field of electron crystallography.

The list of topics to cover includes:

• 3D electron diffraction â€" data acquisition, processing, applications in diverse fields of materials science
• Serial crystallography
• In-situ electron crystallography
• Inelastic and multiple scattering of electrons
• Low dose data acquisition

List of confirmed Speakers

• Robert Bücker (Hamburg University, Germany)
• Iryna Andrusenko (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Pisa, Italy)
• Hongyi Xu (Stockholm University, Sweden)
• Lukáš Palatinus (Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic)
• Tatiana Gorelik (Ulm University, Germany)
• Joke Hadermann (University of Antwerp, Belgium)
• Ute Kolb (University of Mainz, Germany)
• Philippe Boullay (CNRS, Caen, France)
• Tim Grüne (University of Vienna, Austria)
• Stef Smeets (Netherlands eScience center)
• Jan-Peter Abrahams (PSI, University of Basel, Switzerland)
• Alex Eggeman (University of Manchester, UK)
• Holger Klein (Institut Néel, Université Grenoble Alpes and CNRS, Grenoble, France)
• Louisa Meshi (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Be'er Sheva, Israel)

The workshop is organized in online format, which is new to all of us. We yet hope that it will allow for scientific communication and serve as a platform for discussions and project planning. We plan three scientific sessions interrupted with “virtual” coffee and lunch breaks in the time span from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CET (GMT+1). The time after 4 p.m. can be used for private discussions. Registered users will receive a Webex link which guide them to the meeting. In the mean time we wish you all the best and stay healthy.

It is a great pleasure and honour to invite colleagues from academia and business, as well as young researchers and students from all parts of the world to attend the Materials Science Conference. The conference, scheduled from October 11-14, 2021 is organized by Prism Scientific Services in collaboration with The University of Queensland.

Â

The conference will underpin the need and importance of collaboration and cooperation by individuals from a wide range of professional backgrounds. Materials Oceania will bring together a multidisciplinary group of scientists and engineers from all over the world to present latest findings and to exchange their ideas. This in turn paves the way for further discoveries, which most often happen where disciplines and specialists meet and congregate. In fact the development of materials was, is and will be fundamental for all technological applications, and in the entire field of applied science targeting the improvement of quality of life for humanity. At the end of the materials conference, we hope that attendees will feel they have generated the most up-to-date information available.

Â

We hope that you will join us for a symphony of outstanding science, and to also take a little extra time to enjoy the spectacular and unique beauty of Brisbane City.

This one-day meeting will be an opportunity for ePSIC users to share their innovative scientific research with the both the ePSIC user base and wider scientific community. The meeting will take place between 10:00-16:00 (BST) and will be hosted online via Zoom. Attendance is open to anyone interested in hearing about the latest research from ePSIC.

The meeting will primarily be a collection of invited research talks with time for discussions. Confirmed speakers include:

• Alexander Korsunsky (University of Oxford)
• Sarah Haigh (University of Manchester)
• Peng Wang (Nanjing University)
• Ryan Wang (UCL)
• Sean Collins (University of Leeds)
• Chen Huang (University of Oxford)
• Manfred Schuster (Johnson Matthey)
