6. SPM
Rogla, May 13 – 15, 2026
Slovene Society for Microscopy proudly announces the 6th Slovene Microscopy Symposium, to be held on May 13 – 15, 2026 in hotel Rogla, on Rogla, Zreče.
After five successfully organized symposia, the event has become traditional. This year, the event will last three days. We look forward to meeting again in May 2026.
AIM
The main goal of the symposium is to bring together the emerging young researchers and the experts applying different microscopic techniques in the fields of life sciences, material science and industry. Beside the presentation of the latest achievements and trends in microscopy, the symposium also provides an opportunity for introduction of research groups and their microscopic methodologies on all levels of resolution, with the aim of comprehensive overview of available microscopic techniques in Slovenia. Due to the variety of microscopic techniques and sample preparation methodologies, the special emphasis of the symposium will be on clear and user-friendly lectures, in order to make them understandable for wider audience. The aim is to stimulate the interactions between research fields and closer collaboration between academic institutions and industrial sector.
FOR WHOM
The Slovene Microscopy Symposium cordially invites all participants, who directly or indirectly use microscopic methods in their work, including research-, pedagogical- and industrial personnel. In addition to established researchers, we also address young colleagues, PhD students, and scientists at the beginning of their careers. We also kindly welcome all who believe that connecting to microscopy-related organizations and personnel in Slovenia, would contribute to the efficiency of their scientific work, research, development or industrial application.
