Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are pleased to welcome you to the Microscopy Conference MC 2025, which will take place from August 31st to September 4th, 2025, in the charming city of Karlsruhe, Germany. Whether you're a student just starting out in the fascinating world of microscopy, a technician on the hunt for the latest gear and scientific techniques, or an experienced scientist or renowned expert, this will be your European microscopy conference in 2025. Our goal is to create an inspiring atmosphere where ideas can flourish, and new collaborations can bloom.
Following the tradition of the ‘Dreiländertagung’, the Austrian, German, and Swiss Societies for Electron Microscopy (ASEM, DGE, SSOM) are excited to set the stage for vibrant scientific exchange and innovation sparked by the passion for science. We are expecting over 1,000 participants from around the globe, making this a truly international celebration of microscopy.
Karlsruhe, affectionately known as the ‘fan-shaped city’ (Fächerstadt), sits beautifully in the Rhine valley in southwestern Germany, offering a delightful mix of history and modernity. While you're here, don't miss the famous Karlsruhe Palace and its illumination show at night, the picturesque city garden, and the heart of German jurisprudence. The MC 2025 will feature key conference events at various iconic spots around the city, giving you a chance to soak in our lively cultural scene, explore modern museums, and visit world-class research institutes while catching up with old friends and making new ones.
For a little taste of what’s to come, we’re excited to share that the welcome reception will be held at the ’Alter Schlachthof’, a trendy cultural and creative hub, and our conference dinner will take place at the ZKM, the unique ’Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe’. In addition, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2025, will host pre-conference workshops on August 31. These workshops promise an intense exchange with experienced researchers and a warm invitation to young microscopists to dive right in.
The Messe Karlsruhe, with its spacious halls and well-equipped conference rooms, is the perfect location for our main scientific program. It offers excellent facilities for both, instrument exhibitions and scientific presentations, along with ample space for coffee and lunch breaks, ensuring that our shared passion for microscopy research has both, the room —and the refreshments— it needs to thrive!
Our scientific programme will feature plenary talks on the hottest current topics. You'll hear about the latest advances in instrumentation and methods, materials science, and life sciences through invited talks, as well as oral and poster presentations. The event will be completed by the opening and closing ceremonies, award presentations, and prize lectures.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in Karlsruhe – you will make our conference a truly special and genuine experience, a unique platform for exchanging ideas and insights.
Warm regards,
Christian Kübel, Yolita M. Eggeler, Astrid Pundt, Rasmus Schröder
