🎉 Big applause 👏 to Prof. Dr. Helmut Kohl (Uni Münster) for receiving the Harald Rose Distinguished Prize yesterday at #MC2025! 🎉
Helmut has shaped 57 terms in the #EMGlossary — a huge contribution to our community. 🙌
👉 Abstract of his talk: https://programme.conventus.de/en/mc-2025/program/program-points/b5224424-05b8-4652-913c-8c0ca02b8cde
What a fantastic week at #MC2025! 🎉
Huge thanks to the organizers, especially chair and #EMGlossary contributor Rasmus Schröder, for making it such an inspiring event.
We truly enjoyed the great discussions, new connections, and the lively atmosphere – with an impromptu EM Glossary meetup right at the poster session! 🙌
Already looking forward to seeing everyone again at #MC2026!
Don’t forget to pass by IM6.P10 during today’s poster session at #MC2025:
Poster IM6.P10 – Session 19 “Big Data and AI Techniques”

Conference season is in full swing! 🎉
After #CoRDI2025 we’re off to the Microscopy Conference 2025 #MC2025 in Karlsruhe to talk about the #EMGlossary.
Join us on
🔹 Sunday, 31/08: for our presentation in Workshop 6 at 10:50h
and meet us
🔹 Wednesday, 03/09 at our poster (IM6.P10, 14:00–16:00) to learn more about the EM Glossary.
