Abstracts of poster contribu tions to be presented during the workshop should fit one A4 page\; please use the provided Word-template. Detailed guidelines are mentioned on the t emplate.\nThe abstract\, has to be submitted before 15 February 2016. Auth ors will be notified of the acceptance of their poster by 1 March 2016.\nL ater arriving abstracts can be submitted until 1 April 2016.  Notification of acceptance will be done as soon as possible after receipt.\ntop\n \nPr oceedings\nAuthors of contributions related to the topic of the workshop’s special session are invited to submit a manuscript for publication in an issue of the journal Microscopy and Microanalysis\, to appear some months after the Workshop.  All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Manuscrip ts will have to be submitted using the journal’s on-line submission proced ure.\n top\n \nEMAS Bursaries\nA number of EMAS bursaries are available to student members of the Society. They include a free “student” registratio n and free accommodation package for the duration of the Workshop (in a sh ared twin room) in a hotel assigned by the Workshop. The conditions for th e award of an EMAS bursary are as follows:\n\nthe applicant must submit an abstract for a poster contribution\;\nthe applicant must be a student mem ber of EMAS\;\na letter from the applicant's supervisor supporting the app lication must accompany the application (see further).\n\nA number of EMAS bursaries are available to technician members of the Society.
