EMAG 2007
Characterisation, manipulation and fabrication on the nanoscale

Microscopists now not only have the ability to probe structure-property relationships at the subnanometre level but also to manipulate materials and fabricate structures on this scale. This continues to generate unprecedented opportunities to characterise matter at the atomic level and to fabricate new structures with novel mechanical, optical, electronic or magnetic properties.

The Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group’s (EMAG) biennial conference has established a strong reputation as a key event in the calendars of the national and international microscopy communities, since its inaugural meeting in 1946 (then known as the Electron Microscopy Group). EMAG 2007 will continue this tradition in Glasgow, a city that has a long history in science, engineering and innovation.

The superb transport links mean that EMAG 2007 will be easily accessible for day visitors as well as for delegates attending the whole conference and the advanced school. A high quality Trade Exhibition is at the heart of an EMAG conference.

EMAG 2007 will build on the success of the Exhibition at the University of Leeds in 2005 with a mixture of exhibits and technical workshops to enable delegates to interact with vendors and witness the latest developments in microscopy and related techniques.

The scientific themes of EMAG 2007 will be addressed through invited and contributed oral and poster presentations. The plenary lectures will be delivered by Professor John Chapman (University of Glasgow), Professor Christian Colliex (University Paris-Sud) and Professor Mike Treacy (Arizona State University).

One of the principal features of the conference is the opportunity it gives to young researchers to present their work through both the symposia and the poster sessions. There will be prizes for the best student contributions. The Advanced School is designed for research students to enhance their appreciation of some of the key scientific issues of the conference.
