The pro gramme includes time and opportunities for participants to visit the techn ical exhibitions and interact with the manufacturers.\nPrevious Workshops in this series were held in Antwerp (1989)\, Dubrovnik (1991)\, Rimini (19 93)\, St. Malo (1995)\, Torquay (1997)\, Konstanz (1999)\, Tampere (2001)\ , Chiclana de la Frontera (2003)\, Florence (2005)\, Antwerp (2007)\, Gdan sk (2009)\, Angers (2011)\, and Porto (2013). They included sessions cover ing electron (EPMA\, TEM\, SEM\, Auger\, EELS)\, ion (SIMS\, FIB)\, and nu clear (RBS\, NRA) microbeam methods.\nThe main topics of the Fourteenth Wo rkshop (EMAS 2015) are: pushing the limits of EPMA\, microanalysis in the STEM\, EELS\, cathodoluminescence\, EBSD\, and materials applications of m icrobeam analysis. Time will also be devoted to problem orientated applica tions in material science\, geological science\, environmental studies\, a strophysics\, microelectronics\, forensics\, cultural heritage and archaeo logy\, nanomaterials\, surfaces and interfaces\, catalysts\, sensors\, …\n top\nRound-table discussions\nOur round-table discussions are panel discus sions taking place at the end of each scientific 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 in formation and experience among the participants on a number of important p roblems in microbeam techniques. Such activities need careful preparation\ , both with regard to structure and subjects. Therefore\, we would kindly request you to complete the discussion questionnaire on the on-line regist ration page. If you have specific questions\, these can also be mentioned in 'Other suggestions' on the questionnaire.\nBrief presentations or contr ibutions to the round-table discussions are encouraged (please contact the round-table chairperson at the beginning of the Workshop).\ntop\n\n Poste rs\nPoster contributions are welcome on subjects within the scope of the w orkshop (see Scope). The abstracts will be refereed by the International S cientific Committee 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 minutes to present the highlights of their poster using two or three powerpoint slides. Those authors selected will be notified some week s prior to the workshop.\nAuthors have the opportunity to discuss their po sters during the three poster sessions. Posters will be on display during the whole Workshop. Size of the display area: 1.50 m high by 0.95 m wide. \nTwo awards will be given: a) an EMAS Award for the best poster by a youn g scientist (<\; 30 years of age) encompassing a certificate and an invi tation from AMAS - Australian Microbeam Analysis Society to present his/he r work at a microbeam event in Australia (the Award will include a free co nference registration and financial support from AMAS and EMAS for travel and living expenses)\, and b) an EMAS Workshop Poster Award encompassing a certificate and a cash prize of € 500.\ntop\nYoung scientists' session\nO ne session is dedicated to giving young scientists (post-graduates and sci entists under 30) the opportunity to present their work in a talk lasting 15 minutes including time for discussion. There will be six such presentat ions selected from the submitted abstracts. Those contributions selected b y the International Scientific Committee will receive an EMAS Award of € 1 00.\nThe best contribution and presentation will receive a certificate and an invitation from the Microanalysis Society of America (MAS) to present his/her work at the Microscopy and Microanalysis 2016 Meeting to be held i n Columbus\, Ohio (the invitation will include a free conference registrat ion and financial support from MAS and EMAS for travel and living expenses ).\nYoung scientists wishing to be considered for this session should subm it a written application to the Workshop Secretariat\, reaching it before 15 November 2014\, and should be member of EMAS. Recipients of an EMAS bur sary are also eligible to apply.\ntop\nAbstracts\nAbstracts of poster cont ributions to be presented during the workshop should fit one A4 page\; the Word-template is available on the abstract submission page. Detailed guid elines are mentioned on the template.\n \nThe abstract has to be submitted before 28 February 2015. Authors will be notified of the acceptance of th eir poster by 15 March 2015.\nAbstracts submitted after 28 February 2015 b ut before 1 April 2015 may be accepted but will not be selected for the or al presentation sessions.\ntop\nPublication\nAuthors of accepted contribut ions are invited to submit a manuscript for publication in a volume of the IOP - Institute of Physics Conference Series - Materials Science and Engi neering\, appearing some months after the Workshop. All submitted papers w ill be peer-reviewed. Owing to limitations imposed by the publisher\, the editors will apply a stringent selection procedure based on quality\, dive rsity\, and adherence to the manuscript preparation rules. Manuscripts wil l have to be submitted in the format outlined by the publisher to the EMAS Secretariat.\ntop\nWorkshop language\nThe official language of the Worksh op will be English.\ntop\nKey dates\n\n \n \n * 28 February 2015* 15 Ma rch 2015* 29 March 2015* 03 May 2015* 15 June 2015\n : submission of abs tracts for poster presentations: notification of acceptance of poster cont ributions: early registration deadline\; hotel accommodation deadline: sta rt of the workshop: submission of manuscripts for publication in the proce edings\n \n \n\ntop\nEMAS bursaries \n \n\nA number of EMAS bursaries are available to (student) members of the Society.

Its multifunctional design facilitates the organisation of various events: congresses\, seminars\, workshops\, presentations\, press conferences and business meetings\, as well as banquets\, fashion shows a nd gala dinners. All 16 modern multifunctional halls enjoy natural dayligh t.\nPortorož is closely connected to nearby Piran\, a small medieval town whose fame and fortune come from one of the largest saltpans in this part of the world. Today mostly abandoned\, the saltpans now provide shelter to numerous bird species to nest or stop during southbound migration. It is the saltpans and their natural elements - salt\, brine\, and fango mud - t hat spurred the development of tourism in Portorož. When the healing prope rties of these natural elements were discovered as early as the 19th centu ry\, Portorož got its first hotels and thermal centres. Today Portorož is a popular place to work\, relax and have fun.\nPiran is a very special\, p recious city. It is the best preserved cultural monument of Slovenian Istr ia and the closest neighbour of Portorož\, the luxurious city of flowers. Take a closer look at its architecture\, influenced by the Venetian Republ ic\, which left its mark on most Istrian towns. Throughout time\, Piran ma intained the clustered medieval structure of narrow winding streets with h ouses huddled close together\, rising in cascades\, the contact with the s ea\, numerous squares and churches.\ntop\nThe weather in Portorož in May\n Portorož has a Mediterranean climate. Average high temperature in May is a round 25 °C. It can rain but it can also be quite warm.\ntop\nPersonal dat a\nPersonal information supplied to EMAS will be held on computer and may be used only for purposes connected with the activities of the European Mi crobeam Analysis Society.\ntop\nHow to get to the Workshop venue\na) By ai r: Participants arriving by plane are advised to arrange travel through ei ther Ljubljana (Joze Pucnik) airport\, Trieste (Ronchi dei Legionari) airp ort\, or Venice (Marco Polo) airport.\nLjubljana airport is located 26 km north of Slovenia's capital city\, Ljubljana\, and 138 km from Portorož.Fr om the Ljubljana airport you can travel to Ljubljana city by bus\, running several times a day\; additional information and timetables can be found here.\nTrieste airport is located 80 km from Portorož.
