The workshops also provide a forum where students and young scientists starting out on a career in microbeam analysis can meet and discuss with the established experts. The Trondheim meeting was organised within the usual EMAS format, comprising invited plenary lectures by internationally recognized experts, poster presentations by the participants and round table discussions on the key topics led by specialists in the field. The workshop was organised in collaboration with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The technical programme included the following topics: Electron probe microanalysis, Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), Complementary techniques, Automated mineralogy, µ-X-ray fluorescence, and their applications.As at previous workshops, there was also a special oral session for young scientists. The best presentation by a young scientist was awarded with an invitation to attend the 2020 Microscopy and Microanalysis meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The prize went to Grzegorz Cios, AGH - University of Science and Technology, Krakow (PL), for his presentation entitled: “Local tetragonality of martensite investigated by EBSD” (by G. Cios, A. Winkelmann, G. Nolze, T. Tokarski and P. Bała).Conference photograph and Acknowledgements are available in this pdf.
