EDGE 2009: International EELS-Workshop http://www.energyloss.com/current/index.html May 17 – May 22, 2009 Banff, Alberta, Canada
About the Meeting
This will be the sixth in a series of workshops on electron energy-loss spectroscopy that began in 1990 at Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada, USA. It will use a Gordon Conference-style format, with a mixture of scientific sessions and free time for informal discussions and recreation. This workshop will be taking place at the Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada.
