Invitation to the 14th European Light Microscopy Initiative meeting

www.mn.uio.no/ibv/elmi2014

Dear Microscopists,                                                                                                                                                                

On behalf of the ELMI 2014 organizing committee we are pleased to invite you
to the 14th ELMI meeting in Oslo 20-23 May. The ELMI meeting provides a
unique opportunity to experience first-hand the latest cutting-edge imaging
equipment in concert with unpublished work in the field of life science. Devoted
specialists and students come together at the ELMI meetings to share their
expertise and ideas, take part in numerous workshops covering all the latest
microscope techniques in this very fast developing field. The research talks will
cover a range of fields in the genre of life science and offer insights into the
implementation of future imaging methods.

This year we have chosen to have a "compact meeting"; that is a meeting in a
large hotel which accommodates all participants in a site that is remote enough
to gather people around the clock. The chosen meeting venue is Holmenkollen
Park Hotel Rica. This is a beautiful hotel that combines Norwegian character
and environment with internationally high standard conference facilities. Leisure
options include a pool, hot tub, sauna and a gym and fantastic surroundings for
hiking etc. The hotel is situated “on top of Oslo”, just 55km from Gardermoen,
Oslo's main international airport. We have reserved the entire hotel, including a
1000m2 drive-in exhibition hall “Valhall”.

Norwegian Constitution Day 17th May

It is the Norwegian Constitution Day on Saturday 17th May, an excellent
