11th International NanoSIMS Workshop

Wednesday, July 31, 2024

Celebrating its 95th birthday in 2024, CAMECA is pleased to host the 11th International NanoSIMS workshop in Gennevilliers, October 15-16 2024. Understanding that traveling to Europe may not be convenient for everyone, we have decided to make it a hybrid event. This means you can still participate and present your work even if you cannot make the trip.*

Registration for this event is now closed.

* The 2024 workshop is free of charge. Delegates who chose to attend in person are required to cover only their travel and accommodation expenses.
