The programme includes time and opportunities for participants to visit th e technical exhibitions and interact with the manufacturers.\nPrevious Wor kshops in this series were held in Antwerp (1989)\, Dubrovnik (1991)\, Rim ini (1993)\, St. Malo (1995)\, Torquay (1997)\, Konstanz (1999)\, Tampere (2001)\, Chiclana de la Frontera (2003)\, Florence (2005)\, Antwerp (2007) \, Gdansk (2009)\, Angers (2011)\, Porto (2013)\, Portorož (2015)\, Konsta nz (2017)\, Trondheim (2019)\, Krakow (2023)\, and Mataró (2025). They inc luded sessions covering electron (EPMA\, EBSD\, TEM\, SEM\, Auger\, EELS)\ , ion (SIMS\, FIB)\, and nuclear (RBS\, NRA) microbeam methods.\nThe main topics of the Ninenteenth Workshop (EMAS 2027) are: Electron probe microan alysis (EPMA)\; Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)\; Correlative tech niques\; EDD\, EDS and EELS in TEM\; and Software for microbeam analysis.  Time will also be devoted to problem orientated applications in material science\, geological science\, environmental studies\, astrophysics\, micr oelectronics\, forensics\, cultural heritage and archaeology\, nanomateria ls\, surfaces and interfaces\, catalysts\, sensors\, …\ntop\nRound-table d iscussions\nOur round-table discussions are panel discussions taking place at the end of each scientific session on a main topic.  They are moderate d by a leading expert\, assisted by the invited speakers of the correspond ing session.\nThe idea is to stimulate the exchange of information and exp erience among the participants on a number of important problems in microb eam techniques.  Such activities need careful preparation\, both with rega rd to structure and subjects.  Therefore\, we would kindly request you to complete the discussion questionnaire on the on-line registration page.  I f you have specific questions\, these can also be mentioned in 'Other sugg estions' on the questionnaire.\nBrief presentations or contributions to th e round-table discussions are encouraged (please contact the round-table c hairperson at the beginning of the Workshop).\ntop\nPosters\nPoster contri butions are welcome on subjects within the scope of the workshop (see Scop e).  The abstracts will be refereed by the International Scientific Commit tee and will be published\, together with the text of the invited lectures \, in the Book of Tutorials and Abstracts of the workshop.\nThere will be three Oral Poster Sessions in which selected authors will be given 5 minut es to present the highlights of their poster using two or three powerpoint slides.  Those authors selected will be notified some weeks prior to the workshop.\nAuthors have the opportunity to discuss their posters during th e three poster sessions.  Posters will be on display during the whole Work shop.  Size of the display area: 1.80 m high by 1.20 m wide.\nTwo awards w ill be given: a) an EMAS Award for the best poster by an Early Career Scie ntist encompassing a certificate and an invitation from AMAS - Australian Microbeam Analysis Society to present his/her work at a microbeam event in 2028 in Australia (the invitation will include a free conference registra tion and financial support from AMAS and EMAS for travel and living expens es)\, and b) an EMAS Workshop Poster Award encompassing a certificate and a cash prize of € 500.\ntop\nEarly Career Scientists' session\nOne session is dedicated to giving Early Career Scientists (ECS) the opportunity to p resent their work in a 15-minute oral presentation (including 3 minutes fo r discussion) (Eligibility criteria for ECS status can be found on the ‘EM AS Bursaries and Grants’ subpage of the EMAS website). There will be up to six such presentations selected from the submitted abstracts.\nThe best c ontribution and presentation will be awarded the EMAS Early Career Scienti st Award\, encompassing a certificate and an invitation from the Microanal ysis Society of America (MAS) to present his/her work at the Microscopy an d Microanalysis 2028 Meeting to be held in Seattle\, Washington (the invit ation will include a free conference registration and financial support fr om MAS and EMAS for travel and living expenses).\nEarly Career Scientists wishing to be considered for this session should have submitted an abstrac t\, and have to send a written application to the Workshop Secretariat\, r eaching it before 15 November 2026\, and should be member of EMAS. Applica nts will be notified of the allocation of an Early Career Scientists’ sess ion slot by 15 January 2027. Applicants for an EMAS Bursary are also eligi ble to apply.\ntop\nAbstracts\nAbstracts to be presented during the worksh op should fit two A4 pages using the Word-template available on the EMAS w ebsite (www.microbeamanalysis.eu).  Detailed guidelines are mentioned on t he template.  Online submission details are given on the workshop webpage. \nThe abstract has to be submitted before 15 February 2027.  Authors will be notified of the acceptance of their poster by 15 March 2027.\ntop\nPubl ication\nAuthors of accepted contributions are encouraged to submit a manu script for publication in the workshop’s proceedings volume\, to be publis hed in EPJ Web of conferences\, an international\, peer-reviewed\, open-ac cess and SCOPUS-listed\, journal.All submitted papers will be peer-reviewe d. Owing to limitations imposed by the publisher\, the editors will apply a stringent selection procedure based on quality\, diversity\, and adheren ce to the manuscript preparation rules. Manuscripts will have to be submit ted in the format outlined by the publisher to their online manuscript sub mission system.\ntop\nWorkshop language\nThe official language of the Work shop will be English.\ntop\nKey dates\n\n\n\n\n* 15 November 2026* 15 Janu ary 2027* 15 February 2027* 15 March 2027*   1 April 2027*   5 June 2027*   6 June 2027*  10 June 2027\n\n\nsubmission of abstracts for poster prese ntations by EMAS Bursary applicantssubmission of abstracts for poster pres entations by Early Career Scientists' applicantsclosing date for Early Car eer Scientists' session applicationsclosing date for EMAS Bursary applicat ionsnotification of Early Career Scientists’ session allocationsnotificati on of EMAS Bursary allocationssubmission of abstracts for poster presentat ionsnotification of acceptance of poster contributionsearly registration d eadlinehotel accommodation deadlineworking group meeting ‘EPMA optimisatio n in irradiated and nuclear material analysis’ (afternoon)3 short courses (morning 1/2-day): on 'EBSD'\, 'EPMA'\, and 'XMapTools'short course (after noon 1/2 day) on 'Modelling in EPMA using Monte Carlo simulation'working g roup meeting (afternoon)on  ‘Reference materials\, facility management and EPMA maintenance’start of the EMAS 2027 Workshopend of the workshop\n\n\n \n\ntop\nEMAS Bursaries \nA number of EMAS Bursaries are available to:i) E arly Career Scientist (ECS): They include a free student registration and free accommodation package for the duration of the EMAS Workshop (in a sha red twin room) in a hotel assigned by the Workshop.

In addition\, alternati ve deterministic approximations of the Boltzmann transport equation will b e presented\, along with simple code examples.  Attendees are encouraged t o bring a laptop.\nWorking group meetings\nEach of these is limited to 25 participants.  They are open to non-workshop participants.  Cost for the ‘ Facility management’ working group meeting is € 75\, and € 100 for the ‘EP MA optimisation in irradiated and nuclear material analysis’ working group meeting.\nWorking group: EPMA optimisation in irradiated and nuclear mate rial analysis  (afternoon Saturday June 5th\, 2027)Numerous difficulties a re encountered when performing EPMA analysis on irradiated and radioactive nuclear materials.  These include\, but are not limited to: lack of relia ble standards\, difficulty handling samples\, complex overlaps (e.g.\, Kr- Kα)\, lack of reliable φ(ρZ) corrections\, etc.This working group will foc us on EPMA analysis of nuclear and radioactive materials. The goal is to i dentify high priority issues that can be addressed collaboratively by sess ion members following the meeting.\nWorking group: Reference materials\, f acility management\, and EPMA maintenance  (afternoon Sunday June 6th\, 20 27)This working group will be the first opportunity to discuss our needs a nd efforts towards better reference materials and standards necessary for accurate quantitative microanalysis.  This first meeting of the yet to be created European Group on Microanalytical Standards will be combined with our usual working group on facility management of a microanalytical facili ty\, such as a scanning or analytical transmitted electron microscope or a n electron microprobe laboratory (among others).One of the primordial task s of the lab manager is to ensure optimum working conditions for the instr ument(s)\, and to ensure that the analysts – students or researchers – get the data they need with the excellent precision and accuracy they deserve .  These instruments are expensive and need care to ensure high quality re sults\, and the manager should be able to easily identify the problem and sometimes even fix it\, and to run periodically performance and quality te sts.  Beside interventions from dr Dirk Berger (leader of the IGEME: Germa n interest group of electron microscopic facilities) and dr Julien Allaz ( former leader of FIGMAS: Focussed interest group on microanalytical standa rds) we hope to have active discussions on the following matters (listed a s an example):• Standards and reference materials\, European FIGMAS\,• Qua lity controls and testing of instrument performance\,• Teaching & training for lab users and students\,• Lab organisation\,• Comparison of different research environment\,• Networking laboratories within and between houses \,• Model for seed funding for young scientists\,• Public relation\, such as “core facility days”\,• etc.As these subjects can be quite broad\, part icipants will be encouraged to provide a list of their preferred topics th ey would like to see covered during this workshop a month before the meeti ng.\ntop\nPROGRAMME\nPlease download the PDF of the final announcement for details on the programme.\ntop\nRegistration fees \nParticipants are enc ouraged to complete registration and arrange for their payment\, preferabl y before 1 April 2027 to qualify for reduced rates.The workshop registrati on package includes:➢ lunches (Mo. – We.) and all refreshment breaks\;➢ th e welcome reception (Su.) and the workshop dinner (We.)\;➢ the workshop pr ogramme booklet\;➢ a PDF-copy of the workshop’s Book of Tutorials and Abst racts containing the detailed programme\, the text of the invited lectures \, and the abstracts of the poster presentations\;➢ a hard copy of the wor kshop’s Book of Tutorials and Abstracts can be ordered\, before 1 April 20 27\, by completing the relevant tick box on the registration page\n\n\n\nW orkshop attendance- Current EMAS members- Registration + 2-year EMAS membe rship- Non-member registration only\nearly rate until March 31€ 650.00€ 72 0.00€ 750.00\nlate rate as of April 1€ 750.00€ 820.00€ 850.00\n\n\n- Stude nt / EMAS member in retirementWorkshop dinner (additional ticket)      (f or exhibitors\, accompanying persons)Hard copy of the Book of Tutorials an d AbstractsShort courses- Introduction to EBSD- Electron probe microanalys is- Modelling in EPMA using Monte Carlo simulation- XMapToolsWorking group meetings- Irradiated & nuclear materials analysis- Reference materials & facility management\n€ 350.00€ 150.00€ 80.00€ 75.00€ 75.00€ 75.00€ 75.00€ 100.00€   75.00\n\n\n\ntop\nSocial programme\nAll participants and accompa nying persons are invited to the welcome reception on Sunday evening.
