Microscopy Society of Canada meeting 2024
KEY FEATURES
- The meeting is hybrid! Even if you cannot come to Ottawa, you will be able to attend very exciting talks within the fields of materials, life science and AI-driven image analysis, incorporating various microscopy techniques including Electron Microscopy, Light/Optical Microscopy, X-Ray and AFM.
- Over 10 workshops available on EM, LM and AFM techniques, targeting different levels of expertise.
- At lunch time, the free clinics will offer students and researchers the opportunity to get practical advice from experts in AFM, (FIB)-SEM, LSM, etc…
- The MSC Student Chapters are preparing several activities (including the 2024 image contest) and convivial networking event.
- To help attendees to save money, the local organizing committee has partnered with VIA Rail and Air Canada, to offer up to 10% rebate on train and plane tickets to attendees of the MSC. Discount codes are shared once registration is complete.
- Early Birds enjoy a $100 discount on registration until April 10th.
- Abstract submission deadline is April 10th.
- A full afternoon will also be dedicated to imaging core facilities to discuss new scientific support within Canada, with representatives from the CFI funding agency and other microscopy-related societies, as well as a professional development session around conflict resolution. Possibility to register for this half a day only.
ACCOMMODATIONS
A limited number of rooms (ie. for 100 people) have been secured for the participants for June 3-7, just a few meters from the conference. The rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be able to book your accommodations during the registration process.
