Conference Description

ATTENTION: The GRC bus picks up and drops off at the Florence Airport (FLR) only. GRC no longer has bus service to / from the Pisa Airport.

The Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

This GRC uniquely brings together scientists from a highly interdisciplinary range of expertise from the biological sciences, chemistry, materials science, engineering and physics, focused on driving advances in both the electron microscopy methodology and the materials under study. Significant advances have been made in this nascent field, driven by this multidisciplinary and diverse community of scientists, with many more challenges and hurdles to come. This GRC will explore both these advances and the remaining barriers by bringing together a focused group of researchers excited by the opportunity to advance the frontiers of nanoscience and technology through the development of new, advanced tools and characterization methods.

Related Meeting

This GRC will be held in conjunction with the "Liquid Phase Electron Microscopy" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.
