The programme includes time and opportunities for participants to visit the technical exhibitions and interact with the manufacturers.\nPrevious Workshops in this series w ere held in Antwerp (1989)\, Dubrovnik (1991)\, Rimini (1993)\, St. Malo ( 1995)\, Torquay (1997)\, Konstanz (1999)\, Tampere (2001)\, Chiclana de la Frontera (2003)\, Florence (2005)\, Antwerp (2007)\, Gdansk (2009)\, Ange rs (2011)\, Porto (2013)\, Portorož (2015)\, Konstanz (2017)\, Trondheim ( 2019)\, Krakow (2023)\, and Mataró (2025). They included sessions covering electron (EPMA\, EBSD\, TEM\, SEM\, Auger\, EELS)\, ion (SIMS\, FIB)\, an d nuclear (RBS\, NRA) microbeam methods.\nThe main topics of the Ninenteen th Workshop (EMAS 2027) are: Electron probe microanalysis (EPMA)\; Electro n backscatter diffraction (EBSD)\; Correlative techniques\; EDD\, EDS and EELS in TEM\; and Software for microbeam analysis.  Time will also be devo ted to problem orientated applications in material science\, geological sc ience\, environmental studies\, astrophysics\, microelectronics\, forensic s\, cultural heritage and archaeology\, nanomaterials\, surfaces and inter faces\, catalysts\, sensors\, …\ntop\nRound-table discussions\nOur round-t able discussions are panel discussions taking place at the end of each sci entific session on a main topic.  They are moderated by a leading expert\, assisted by the invited speakers of the corresponding session.\nThe idea is to stimulate the exchange of information and experience among the parti cipants on a number of important problems in microbeam techniques.  Such a ctivities need careful preparation\, both with regard to structure and sub jects.  Therefore\, we would kindly request you to complete the discussion questionnaire on the on-line registration page.  If you have specific que stions\, these can also be mentioned in 'Other suggestions' on the questio nnaire.\nBrief presentations or contributions to the round-table discussio ns are encouraged (please contact the round-table chairperson at the begin ning of the Workshop).\ntop\nPosters\nPoster contributions are welcome on subjects within the scope of the workshop (see Scope).  The abstracts will be refereed by the International Scientific Committee and will be publish ed\, together with the text of the invited lectures\, in the Book of Tutor ials and Abstracts of the workshop.\nThere will be three Oral Poster Sessi ons in which selected authors will be given 5 minutes to present the highl ights 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 the three poster sessions .  Posters will be on display during the whole Workshop.  Size of the disp lay area: 1.80 m high by 1.20 m wide.\nTwo awards will be given: a) an EMA S Award for the best poster by an Early Career Scientist encompassing a ce rtificate and an invitation from AMAS - Australian Microbeam Analysis Soci ety to present his/her work at a microbeam event in 2028 in Australia (the invitation will include a free conference registration and financial supp ort from AMAS and EMAS for travel and living expenses)\, and b) an EMAS Wo rkshop Poster Award encompassing a certificate and a cash prize of € 500. \ntop\nEarly Career Scientists' session\nOne session is dedicated to givin g Early Career Scientists (ECS) the opportunity to present their work in a 15-minute oral presentation (including 3 minutes for discussion) (Eligibi lity criteria for ECS status can be found on the ‘EMAS Bursaries and Grant s’ subpage of the EMAS website). There will be up to six such presentation s selected from the submitted abstracts.\nThe best contribution and presen tation will be awarded the EMAS Early Career Scientist Award\, encompassin g a certificate and an invitation from the Microanalysis Society of Americ a (MAS) to present his/her work at the Microscopy and Microanalysis 2028 M eeting to be held in Seattle\, Washington (the invitation will include a f ree conference registration and financial support from MAS and EMAS for tr avel and living expenses).\nEarly Career Scientists wishing to be consider ed for this session should have submitted an abstract\, and have to send a written application to the Workshop Secretariat\, reaching it before 15 N ovember 2026\, and should be member of EMAS. Applicants will be notified o f the allocation of an Early Career Scientists’ session slot by 15 January 2027. Applicants for an EMAS Bursary are also eligible to apply.\ntop\nAb stracts\nAbstracts to be presented during the workshop should fit two A4 p ages using the Word-template available on the EMAS website (www.microbeama nalysis.eu).  Detailed guidelines are mentioned on the template.  Online s ubmission details are given on the workshop webpage.\nThe abstract has to be submitted before 15 February 2027.  Authors will be notified of the acc eptance of their poster by 15 March 2027.\ntop\nPublication\nAuthors of ac cepted contributions are encouraged to submit a manuscript for publication in the workshop’s proceedings volume\, to be published in EPJ Web of conf erences\, an international\, peer-reviewed\, open-access and SCOPUS-listed \, journal.All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Owing to limitation s imposed by the publisher\, the editors will apply a stringent selection procedure based on quality\, diversity\, and adherence to the manuscript p reparation rules. Manuscripts will have to be submitted in the format outl ined by the publisher to their online manuscript submission system.\ntop\n Workshop language\nThe official language of the Workshop will be English. \ntop\nKey dates\n\n\n\n\n* 15 November 2026* 15 January 2027* 15 February 2027* 15 March 2027*   1 April 2027*   5 June 2027*   6 June 2027*  10 Ju ne 2027\n\n\nsubmission of abstracts for poster presentations by EMAS Burs ary applicantssubmission of abstracts for poster presentations by Early Ca reer Scientists' applicantsclosing date for Early Career Scientists' sessi on applicationsclosing date for EMAS Bursary applicationsnotification of E arly Career Scientists’ session allocationsnotification of EMAS Bursary al locationssubmission of abstracts for poster presentationsnotification of a cceptance of poster contributionsearly registration deadlinehotel accommod ation deadlineworking group meeting ‘EPMA optimisation in irradiated and n uclear material analysis’ (afternoon)3 short courses (morning 1/2-day): on 'EBSD'\, 'EPMA'\, and 'XMapTools'short course (afternoon 1/2 day) on 'Mon te Carlo simulation'working group meeting (afternoon)on  ‘Reference materi als\, facility management and EPMA maintenance’start of the EMAS 2027 Work shopend of the workshop\n\n\n\n\ntop\nEMAS Bursaries \nA number of EMAS Bu rsaries are available to:i) Early Career Scientist (ECS): They include a f ree student registration and free accommodation package for the duration o f the EMAS Workshop (in a shared twin room) in a hotel assigned by the Wor kshop.

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 ar e encountered when performing EPMA analysis on irradiated and radioactive nuclear materials.  These include\, but are not limited to: lack of reliab le standards\, difficulty handling samples\, complex overlaps (e.g.\, Kr-K α)\, lack of reliable φ(ρZ) corrections\, etc.This working group will focu s on EPMA analysis of nuclear and radioactive materials. The goal is to id entify high priority issues that can be addressed collaboratively by sessi on members following the meeting.\nWorking group: Reference materials\, fa cility management\, and EPMA maintenance (afternoon Sunday June 6th\, 2027 )This working group will be the first opportunity to discuss our needs and efforts towards better reference materials and standards necessary for ac curate quantitative microanalysis.  This first meeting of the yet to be cr eated European Group on Microanalytical Standards will be combined with ou r usual working group on facility management of a microanalytical facility \, such as a scanning or analytical transmitted electron microscope or an electron microprobe laboratory (among others).One of the primordial tasks of the lab manager is to ensure optimum working conditions for the instrum ent(s)\, and to ensure that the analysts – students or researchers – get t he data they need with the excellent precision and accuracy they deserve.  These instruments are expensive and need care to ensure high quality resu lts\, and the manager should be able to easily identify the problem and so metimes even fix it\, and to run periodically performance and quality test s.  Beside interventions from dr Dirk Berger (leader of the IGEME: German interest group of electron microscopic facilities) and dr Julien Allaz (fo rmer leader of FIGMAS: Focussed interest group on microanalytical standard s) we hope to have active discussions on the following matters (listed as an example):• Standards and reference materials\, European FIGMAS\,• Quali ty controls and testing of instrument performance\,• Teaching & training f or lab users and students\,• Lab organisation\,• Comparison of different r esearch 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\, partic ipants will be encouraged to provide a list of their preferred topics they would like to see covered during this workshop a month before the meeting .\ntop\nPROGRAMME\nPlease download the PDF of the final announcement for d etails on the programme.\ntop\nRegistration fees \nParticipants are encou raged to complete registration and arrange for their payment\, preferably before 1 April 2027 to qualify for reduced rates.The workshop registration package includes:➢ lunches (Mo. – We.) and all refreshment breaks\;➢ the welcome reception (Su.) and the workshop dinner (We.)\;➢ the workshop prog ramme booklet\;➢ a PDF-copy of the workshop’s Book of Tutorials and Abstra cts containing the detailed programme\, the text of the invited lectures\, and the abstracts of the poster presentations\;➢ a hard copy of the works hop’s Book of Tutorials and Abstracts can be ordered\, before 1 April 2027 \, by completing the relevant tick box on the registration page\n\n\n\nWor kshop attendance- Current EMAS members- Registration + 2-year EMAS members hip- Non-member registration only\nearly rate until March 31€ 650.00€ 720. 00€ 750.00\nlate rate as of April 1€ 750.00€ 820.00€ 850.00\n\n\n- Student / EMAS member in retirementWorkshop dinner (additional ticket)      (for exhibitors\, accompanying persons)Hard copy of the Book of Tutorials and AbstractsShort courses- Introduction to EBSD- Electron probe microanalysis - Monte Carlo simulation- XMapToolsWorking group meetings- Irradiated & nu clear 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 accompanying persons are invited to the welcome reception on Sunday evening.
