A Hands-On Training on TEM Automation

How are automation, data management, and advanced analysis transforming TEM workflows and research practices? This question will be at the centre of the second IMPRESS workshop, taking place online on April 13, 2026, from 9:30 to 11:30 CET.

Organized by Euro-BioImaging ERIC and CERIC-ERIC, with the support of Promoscience, the workshop brings together researchers, technology developers, and users to explore current advances in automated Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Speakers from leading European institutions, including CNR-Nano, NTNU, FZJ, and ICN2, will share insights into emerging approaches that aim to make TEM experiments more efficient, reproducible, and scalable, from automated data acquisition to AI-driven analysis.

Beyond presentations, the workshop is designed as an interactive exchange. Participants will have the opportunity to engage directly with experts, share their perspectives, and contribute to discussions that may help shape future developments in the field. In a rapidly evolving landscape where software, data, and instrumentation are increasingly interconnected, such dialogue plays an important role.

This workshop forms part of a series of IMPRESS training events aimed at sharing technological progress with the TEM community while actively gathering expert feedback. The first workshop, held in November 2024, brought together researchers, technology developers and users to explore recent advances in TEM and contribute to discussions on future directions. Building on this collaborative approach, the upcoming session continues this exchange, with a focus on automated TEM.

The programme will highlight recent progress in experiment automation, integrated data management, and advanced analysis methods. A live demonstration will offer a closer look at how experimental data can be processed in real time, culminating in the generation of digital twins ready for further simulation and study.

The workshop is open to both IMPRESS consortium members and external participants, including researchers, microscope operators, industry representatives, IT specialists, and others interested in the future of TEM.
