The 2025 BIST Symposium on Microscopy, Nanoscopy and Imaging Sciences (BSyM), this year in its eighth edition, will take place on February 28th, 2025 at the BIST Community centre ICFO in Castelldefels.
The symposium will include a series of talks and discussions on Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, Scanning Probe Microscopy, and Imaging Technology. Renowned national and international experts in a variety of fields will share their work and the latest advances in these technologies.
The event is also part of the curriculum for the BIST Master of Multidisciplinary Research in Experimental Sciences (MMRES), and students in the current MMRES cohort will present their master’s research at a poster session over the lunch break.
Registration
Attendance is free with prior registration. Attendees can choose to register for the morning sessions, afternoon sessions, or the entire day.
