Dear all,

*** apologize for cross-posting ***

I would like to direct everyone's attention to the upcoming Topical Conference on Electron Probe MicroAnalysis (EPMA - TC)!

http://www.microprobe.org/topical-conferences/epma-2016-1/epma-2016

This 4-day event will take place May 16-19 in Madison and will consist of user meetings on the first day and then three days of tutorials, topical discussions and poster sessions.

The meeting is aimed at experienced SEM / EPMA users as well as people new to quantitative analysis by EPMA (WDS) or SEM (EDS). It will be a great opportunity to meet people, learn, discuss applications and ask many questions. More details below.

There will be support available for students and 'early career scholars'.

Registration is now open. Please, mark the following dates in your calendars!

- Deadline for submission of abstracts is February 15, 2016.

- Deadline for submission of posters is March 1, 2016.

- Deadline for application for MAS Early Career Scholar support is March 1, 2016.

I am looking forward to meeting you there.

Best,

Julien
