Location: University of Swansea Date: 30 March 2009 - 31 March 2009 Contact: Clare Oxenbury Tel: 01865 254768 Fax: 01865 791237 Email: clare@rms.org.uk Website: none Registration for this meeting will open shortly           This event is co-sponsored by the Institute of Materials    Organiser:  Valerie Randle  University of Swansea  The meeting provides a forum for EBSD users (old and new) to discuss the most recent ideas and innovations in EBSD and related techniques. Previous meetings have generated strong interactions between users from different backgrounds (physics, earth sciences and material sciences).  The participants will have an opportunity to meet representatives from some of the leading equipment and software manufacturers in the field of EBSD and to obtain information on their products. Contributed Papers   Contributions on developments or applications of EBSD and related techniques are invited for either oral or poster presentation. Abstracts of approximately 200 words should be submitted before the meeting.    Papers from the meeting will have the opportunity to be published in The Journal of Microscopy, subject to the normal refereeing process. If you need accommodation for the 2009 Electron Backscatter Diffraction Meeting, you have a choice of taking 1, 2 or 3 nights. These options are avaliable on the booking page, once a booking has been make you will be contacted to choose the nights you wish to stay.     The price includes a basic en-suite student room and breakfast.
