The France VolumeEM network is organizing its first Scientific Days in Bordeaux (Broca Center – Bordeaux University) on September 28 and 29, 2026.

The aim of this event is to bring together the community around 3D electron microscopy approaches and complementary techniques, such as TomoX, in the fields of life sciences and materials science.

A bonus session will take place on the afternoon of September 29 and will be dedicated to workshops on CryoFIB-SEM, SBF-SEM, array tomography, plasma FIB, cryogenic and room-temperature sample preparation, as well as various image analysis software tools. Places are limited!

Interested in sharing your work? You can submit an abstract to present your research during one of the three thematic sessions!

Abstracts can be submitted via the Sciencesconf website, either during registration or at a later stage, or by email. Please find the submission guidelines here.

If you do not wish to give an oral presentation but would still like to share your work, you can also submit a poster for the Monday evening poster session.
