Midlands Innovation Electron Microscopy Conference

Tuesday 15th April saw the MI EM Network 2025 Conference. Thanks goes to the Microscopy Services Centre  at Cranfield University for hosting a stimulating event.

With many fantastic speakers, we were privileged to hear about some of the significant updates in regional EM capability as well as new initiatives in outreach, research technical professional (RTP) development, environmental sustainability and beyond. BBSRC, MRC and EPSRC provided information on current and upcoming infrastructure funding opportunities, and the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS) informed on current initiatives and opportunities.  Huge thanks to Thermo Fisher, ZEISS, JEOL, Bruker, Tescan and Gatan for their attendance and supporting of the event. Please see here for more details on the event schedule.

With a turnout full of RTPs working in and around electron microscopy in the area we think it was genuinely a rewarding and a prime opportunity to grow regional activity in support of our fantastic facilities.

Midlands Innovation were delighted to offer travel bursaries for RTPs at all MI institutions
