Selection criteria

• motivation letter
• brief professional CV including a brief description of their experiences in the light microscopy field
• poster abstract (only for in-person participants): description of their own scientific project(s)

Motivation letter: should resonate with the expected impact of acquired knowledge. It means how the new techniques would boost up the ongoing projects or help to adopt the new techniques to the imaging facility.

CV: short structured CV refers to the scientific/professional history and includes the routinely used techniques in microscopy.

The important criteria will be the motivation and expectations from which we can estimate a potential impact of the course to the projects or carrier of the candidate.

Abstract guidelines

The abstract will be accepted in English language and the word limit is 400 words.
The abstract describes the project and/or should clarify the methodical approach, mainly the methods of microscopy.

In cases where the candidate does not have a scientific project (facility staff or company members), the poster abstract should describe ongoing techniques or approaches frequently used in their lab.

Poster specifications

Maximal dimension for the poster is A0:

Height: 841mm, width: 1189 mm
