Conferences

The ER-C hosts the PICO20XX Conference Series on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy. It addresses recent advances in methods and applications for the study of solids in condensed matter research and the life sciences by the application of advanced electron microscopy techniques.

PICO Conference Series

The PICO 20XX conferences are typically attended by approximately 150 participants and include 30 to 45 invited lectures, as well as contributions from the wider scientific community in the form of poster presentations. Proceedings of PICO 20XX conferences have been published as special issues in Ultramicroscopy. More information can be found here.

PICO 2021

The Sixth Conference on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy was held in May 2021. Due to the pandemic situation it was a fully virtual event on an innovative platform called gather.town. In addition to the scientific program, four pioneers of transmission electron microscopy in solid state research and life sciences were honored: Colin Humphreys, Knut Urban, Wolfgang Baumeister, and John Spence.

PICO 2022

The Seventh Conference on Frontiers of Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy, is scheduled to be held in spring 2022 as an on-site event. As with previous PICO 20XX meetings, the conference will again address recent advances in methods and applications for the study of solids in condensed matter research and the life sciences by the application of advanced electron microscopy techniques.
