General Information
th
The XIV International Conference on Electron
Microscopy (EM2011) organised jointly by
the University of Silesia and the Polish Society
for Microscopy
(PTMi) will be held on
June 26 – 30, 2011, in Wisła, Poland.
The Conference will provide a platform for electron
microscopists, crystallographers, material scientists,
solid state physicists, as well as life and earth
scientists to discuss methods and techniques used
in electron microscopy, The scope of the EM2011 is
to provide a broad overview of the recent
achievements in electron microscopy in the three
major areas of instrumentation, methods and
applications.
The conference programme will include plenary
lectures, oral and poster presentations covering
both the fundamental, theory, instrumentations
and applied research
.

Venue
The conference will be held in Wisła, located in
southern Poland, near the border with the Czech
Republic in historical region of Cieszyn Silesia. It is
situated in the Silesian Beskidy mountains. Wisła is
the Polish name for the Vistula River which has its
source in the mountains near the town. The town of
Wisła has its roots in the deep valley of the river
Vistula and its tributaries. It is surrounded by the
East Beskid Slaski mountains. In 1962 Wisła became
a town and now is an important cultural centre for
this region. There are wonderful possibilities for
relaxation with a great number of mountain routes,
sport and recreation centres, swimming pools and
the river. The climate in the Beskidy mountains is
temperate in June. The average temperature should
o
be about 20 C.
Wisła has bus and train connections with Katowice
and Kraków as well as other important towns in
Poland.
More information at http://www.wisla.pl.
Arriving in Wisła
The closest to Wisła international airports are: the
airport in Pyrzowice (Katowice) and the airport in
Balice (Kraków). Both cities have direct bus and
train connection with Wisła centre. The organisers
will provide buses for the conference participants
th
from Katowice to Wisła on Sunday 26 of June,
2011 at 15.00 and 18.00 and after the conference
th
from Wisła to Katowice on 30 of June, 2011 at
15.00. The participants wishing to use this
possibility are requested to indicate their choice
while registering via the conference website or by
e-mail to the conference secretary.
.
Language
The language of the events will be English.
Exhibitions
Institutions and companies are encouraged to
present their exhibitions during the conference.
These may include research instrumentation and
services, state-of-art, products and technology as
well as institutional exhibits. For detailed
information, please contact the Conference
Secretary.

Deadline for abstract submission
Abstract acceptance
Late registration and deadline for payment
Abstract Submission
Authors are invited to submit an abstract before
31 January 2011 (about 400 words, one page
maximum, including the title, author affiliation, full
mailing address of all authors). The contact author
should be indicated by underlining his/her name.
Abstracts should be submitted via conference
website:
http://em2011.us.edu.pl
To get an access to the abstract creator, the
author(s) should first register and choose his/her
username and password. Once registered, the
access to the abstract creator is available by the
login operation. The Conference Scientific
Committee will decide on the mode of presentation
(oral, poster) but the authors are invited to indicate
their preferences. Based on the abstract, papers will
be selected for oral or poster presentation. Only
one paper per registered participant will be allowed
for presentation. All queries about the abstract
submission should be sent to the Conference
Secretariat. If, due to technical reasons, you are
unable to use the online abstract submission
procedure, please contact the Conference
Secretariat.
Call for contributed papers
All the reviewed papers will be printed in the Solid
State Phenomena. Participants are invited to submit
