A conference with an atmosphere all its own

The MICROSCIENCE International Conference continues to grow and, in 2008, it will boast three parallel sessions covering three inspiring themes. These are:
> Characterisation and nanofabrication of advanced materials
> The cell in time and space
> Microscopy and analysis at the frontiers

The Conference Organising Committee is:
> Dr Debbie Stokes – RMS Honorary Secretary Science (Physical)
> Dr Paul Monaghan – RMS Honorary Secretary Science (Biological)
> Professor Mark Rainforth – RMS President
> Professor Chris Hawes – RMS Vice-President
> Mr Les Stump – RMS Honorary Treasurer
> Dr John Hutchison – RMS former President

The conference starts on the evening of Monday 23rd June with registration and a reception in the picturesque Waterside Rooms at ExCeL. Meet your fellow delegates, view the Thames and enjoy the anticipation that precedes this unique event. Each day kicks-off with a high-profile plenary lecture, providing an interesting and provocative start. These are followed by sessions composed of headline invited speakers – drawn from around the world – and submitted papers.

What makes MICROSCIENCE 2008 special is that the conference theatres and exhibition are housed within a single hall. Delegates can move with ease from lectures to demonstrations and discussions with company representatives. Or, they can network in the VIP lounge, the seating areas, or in the cafes that are also housed within the hall. If you haven’t been to MICROSCIENCE before, make 2008 your first. And, if stunning science and the world’s largest dedicated exhibition aren’t enough, MICROSCIENCE 2008 has a great social programme. In addition to the opening night reception, there is an exclusive river cruise on Tuesday evening, and a Party on the Plaza on Wednesday night.

We hope that the only complaint you will have is that there was not enough time to take in everything. The Royal Microscopical Society will be operating a generous bursary fund to make it as easy as possible for all to attend – particularly early career researchers and technicians. You will be surprised at how reasonably-priced accommodation is close to ExCeL. And, the venue is very well-served by air, rail and road. There really is no reason not to be there.
