12-13^th November, 2019

PROGRAM: MODERN METHODS FOR MICROSTRUCTURE ANALYSIS  

This relaxed and homey workshop will bring together selected world-wide experts in this field to present and discuss about the current trends in these topics together and inspired by PhD students and younger international researchers from different countries.

The participation at the Workshop "Modern methods for microstructure analysis" is open for all current and former students, researchers and co-workers of the materials science department of the Saarland University as well as for member of the EUSMAT partners. For participation, a registration per e-mail to Dr. F. Soldera (f.soldera@matsci.uni-sb.de) is requested.
