 Information <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n\n\n

The joint RIANA and Eu-FIB.net Training School 2026 combines lectures by leading experts with intensive hands-on training on state-of-the-art focused ion beam instrumentation at the Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C), Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich. The program is designed to provide participants with both a strong theoretical foundation and direct practical experience in modern FIB methodologies across life sciences and materials science applications.<\/p>\n

Lectures<\/h3>\n

Over four full training days, participants will attend lectures covering ion\u2013solid interactions, FIB instrumentation, analytical and simulation methods, cryo-FIB workflows, biological sample preparation, automation approaches, and emerging developments in the field, including cryo-FIB techniques and correlative workflows, reflecting their rapidly growing importance in structural biology and advanced microscopy.<\/p>\n

Practical Sessions<\/h3>\n

Practical sessions will take place in small groups to ensure intensive individual training and close interaction with instructors. Hands-on activities include FIB lamella preparation, site-specific milling, slice-and-view workflows, plasma FIB operation, beam-induced deposition, correlative microscopy methods, and automation demonstrations on advanced FIB systems.<\/p>\n

Networking<\/h3>\n

The program further includes networking opportunities, discussions with invited speakers and technology experts, as well as social activities designed to encourage exchange between participants from different scientific backgrounds and institutions.<\/p>\n

Deadlines<\/h3>\n

Please note that submissions may close earlier if the maximum capacity is reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

*Accommodation costs are included in the registration fee and provided by the organizer for registered participants. As hostel beds are booked in advance as a non-cancellable contingent, cancellations failure to attend the training school without prior cancellation may result in reimbursement of non-refundable costs incurred by the organizer up to an amount of 200 \u20ac. This does not apply if participants can demonstrate that no or substantially lower costs were incurred.<\/h3>\n
