Welcome note

Dear Colleagues and Friends

Thomas Müller-Reichert
Bernd Rellinghaus

In the tradition of conferences organized by the German Society for Electron Microscopy (DGE), we cordially invite you to the Microscopy Conference 2027 (MC2027), to be held in Dresden from August 29 to September 2, 2027. 

In 1937, Manfred von Ardenne revolutionized our field by introducing scanning techniques to transmission electron microscopy, making Dresden a site of historic significance for microscopists worldwide. In this spirit of curiosity and innovation, we invite you to share your recent findings and ideas with fellow researchers and engineers. Embedded in Dresden’s rich cultural heritage, MC2027 will promote scientific exchange, stimulate the development of novel methods, and foster new discoveries in the natural and engineering sciences.  

The scientific program will again focus on three core areas of electron microscopy: materials science, life science, and instrumentation & methods. It will be complemented by an industry exhibition, where vendors will present their latest product updates. Experts will be available for personal in-depth discussions and will deliver product-related presentations during lunch-time lectures. 

The conference will take place at the Messe Dresden. This spacious, open venue offers halls for plenary sessions, seminar rooms for dedicated symposia, and generous areas for poster presentations, all centered around a sun-drenched courtyard featuring on-site networking events as well as quiet corners for private conversations. 

Dresden itself is a vibrant city with plenty to offer for young and old alike. It is home to numerous academic institutions, key-technology industries, and a variety of cross-disciplinary scientific initiatives creating an inspiring atmosphere that is hard to resist. After a busy day, you can enjoy world-class art, theaters, or music for well-deserved relaxation and a refreshing change of pace. 

We are delighted to help organize MC2027 and look forward to welcoming you to Dresden. 

Thomas Müller-Reichert and Bernd Rellinghaus
