2026 Midlands Innovation Electron Microscopy (MIEM) Conference and Facility Open Day
The Electron Microscopy Research Technology Platform (EM RTP) at the University of Warwick will host the 3rd Midlands Innovation Electron Microscopy (MIEM) Conference on 21 April 2026. The conference brings together Research Technical Professionals working in electron microscopy and related fields. The programme will feature talks on advanced microscopy techniques, RTP development, funding opportunities, and updated capabilities across the Midlands Innovation (MI) region.
Building on the success of previous years, the conference aims to continue cultivating a strong and prosperous technical network. For further information about the conference, please contact Steven Hindmarsh (S.A.Hindmarsh@warwick.ac.uk).
In addition, the EM RTP will hold a Facility Open Day on 22 April 2026, sponsored by the Technology Specialists Network. The aim of the Open Day is to showcase our world-class instrumentation, raise awareness of the facility’s capabilities, connect with peers in the electron microscopy community, and strengthen partnerships with key EM instrument manufacturers.
The event will include a symposium, as well as laboratory tours and live demonstrations. If you are interested in participating as an EM instrument supplier, researcher, or technical specialist, please contact Dr Yisong Han(yisong.han@warwick.ac.uk). Further details will be shared in due course.
We welcome Chengcheng and Eoin to join us as our EM Ambassadors!
