We are delighted to announce that we are running our 51st annual symposium, hosted at the University of Aberdeen. Registration will open in September.

We encourage ECRs to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation. This is a great opportunity to present in a friendly environment, to win prizes and to interact with peers in the microscopy community.

We have a really exciting programme of invited and submitted talks from across disciples, techniques and Universities planned. 

Our keynote speaker this year is Prof. Rachel Lennon, Professor of Nephrology at the University of Manchester. Prof Lennon will talk to us on the role of 3D electron microscopy in her work on basement membranes, how these specialised matrix structures assemble and how they become damaged in disease. 

There’s plenty of chance to interact with trade, with technobites and stands, and facility managers from different universities around Scotland will be available to give you more information on the microscopes and techniques available in Scotland. 

We will also be running our annual Scottish Microscopist of the Year competition. This competition will recognise the contribution entrants have made to the microscopy community in Scotland. The winner will win £500, and will give a talk at the symposium. Look out for the competition opening in August, and closing in early September this year.
