Dear MSA community, Apologies for cross-posting On behalf of the International Scientific Committee and the Local Organising Committee, it is my pleasure to announce EMAS 2027 – 19th European Workshop on Modern Developments & Applications in Microbeam Analysis. WHEN?... June 6 to 10, 2027 (Sunday to Thursday) WHERE?... Anthropole building, University of Lausanne (Switzerland). WHAT?… All about microbeam analytical instruments and applications: EPMA, SEM, TEM, SIMS, WDS, EDS, EBSD, correlative techniques, software for microbeam analysis, application in geological and material sciences, environment, forensics, and more! The abstract submission is now OPEN and registration will open in early 2027. All information is available on our website, along with the final announcement and programme: https://www.microbeamanalysis.eu/ We have several grants and bursaries for Early Career Scientists and Technicians. Any abstract to be considered for an EMAS 2027 bursary or an application for a slot in the workshop’s Early Career Scientists’ session has to be submitted before 15 November 2026. See the conditions on our website. General abstract submission for poster remains open until 15 February 2027. EMAS 2027 will include on Sunday four short courses on EPMA, EBSD, XMapTools, and Modelling in EPMA using Monte Carlo simulations, along with a working group on facility management that will include our FIRST discussion on microbeam reference materials, and a working group on EPMA optimisation in irradiated and nuclear materials. Looking forward to seeing you in June next year in Switzerland, Julien M.
