The 18th edition of the Multinational Congress on Microscopy (18MCM)<\/strong>, one of the leading international events dedicated to microscopy and its most advanced applications, will be held in Trieste from 12 to 17 September 2027<\/strong>. The city was selected as the host venue following a bid submitted by the Italian Society for Microscopical Sciences (SISM), in collaboration with Area Science Park<\/strong>, and particularly its Electron Microscopy Laboratory, which draws on a well-established wealth of expertise, cutting-edge instrumentation and international partnerships.<\/p>\n

The congress is expected to bring more than 400 participants to Trieste, including researchers and early-career scientists from across Europe<\/strong>. This is comparable to the attendance recorded at the previous edition, held in Portoro\u017e (Slovenia) in September 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosting the 18th edition of the Multinational Congress on Microscopy in Trieste is an important recognition of the scientific community in our region and further confirms the city\u2019s role as an international research hub, built on an ecosystem of excellence and strong partnerships,\u201d said Prof. Caterina Petrillo, President of Area Science Park<\/strong>. She added: \u201cFor the institution I lead, the congress is further confirmation of the excellence of the path undertaken in recent years, which has involved significant investments in infrastructures and expertise dedicated to materials science and advanced electron microscopy. This commitment has also been recognised at European level, as demonstrated by the recent success of the Microscopy Europe project, which successfully passed the European evaluation thresholds and was included in the ESFRI Roadmap 2026. Microscopy Europe will be the first European distributed infrastructure dedicated to advanced electron microscopy for the characterisation of materials at the atomic scale. Area Science Park contributed to its design and will continue to contribute to the development of its scientific programme over the next ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Multinational Congress on Microscopy is an internationally significant platform for scientific, technological and educational exchange<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 18th edition of the Multinational Congress on Microscopy will provide an important opportunity to bring the international microscopy community together in Trieste and to discuss the latest scientific and technological developments in the field,\u201d emphasises Regina Ciancio, Head of the Electron Microscopy Laboratory at Area Science Park and Chair of the Congress<\/strong>. \u201cThe programme will span from materials science to life sciences, with a particular focus on the new frontiers of advanced microscopy, instrumentation and emerging methodologies. Significant attention will also be devoted to early-career researchers, training, and dialogue among research organisations, scientific infrastructures and industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
