Description
Conference overview
Founded in 2001, the European Light Microscopy Initiative (ELMI) was established to create a pivotal communication network among European scientists involved in light microscopy and equipment manufacturers. Its primary goals are to advocate for light microscopy as an essential research tool in the life sciences and to enhance communication among researchers, core facilities, and the industry.
The 2025 edition of the European Light Microscopy Initiative conference sees a return to the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, for the first time since 2010. With EMBL’s tradition of excellence in light microscopy, this event promises to be a highly interactive and engaging experience making full use of the purpose-built Advanced Training Centre venue and the EMBL Imaging Centre.
Highlights of the 2025 conference will include traditional company workshops, an international line-up of speakers, a comprehensive exhibition, and a dedicated community workshop room where participants can engage directly with experts and peers. These sessions are specifically designed to facilitate learning, collaboration, and innovation among attendees from across the microscopy community.
