Microscopy Home PageThis page is devoted to a list of forthcoming meetings and conferences arranged in date order, i.e. current events are at the top of the page, those at an early stage of planning are at the bottom. There is a separate page for training courses and workshops
Please send me details of meetings missing from the page and I'll gladly add them. E-mail chris@stowey.demon.co.uk, please include the title of the meeting, its date (or range of dates), the name of the organising body, and a contact person with an address for enquiries and registration details. If phone and fax numbers, an e-mail address and a Web URL are available I will add those as well.
