The 17th European Microscopy Congress (EMC) took place on August 24-29, 2024, in Copenhagen, Denmark, attracting over 1,500 researchers and industry representatives. The event focused on the latest advancements in microscopy in the life and materials sciences, with a strong emphasis on both light and electron microscopy techniques.

The EMC 2024 included sessions on light and electron microscopy, correlative methods, novel imaging modalities, and image processing. The event’s highlights were its plenary talks, five parallels symposia, and industry-led workshops. Attendees also explored emerging microscopy technologies, participated in interactive sessions, and attended pre-conference workshops.

In addition to the scientific program, over 90 leading manufacturers and suppliers of microscopy instrumentation showcased their latest products. This interaction between academia and industry offered delegates valuable insights into cutting-edge tools. The exhibition space fostered collaboration opportunities and supported the adoption of innovative technologies within the research community.

The Microscopy Imaging Center (MIC) was represented by Benoit Zuber and Yury Belyaev at EMC 2024. Calvin Klein, a PhD student from Wanda Kukulski’s lab and a member of the CEM program, also attended and received the best poster presentation award.
