5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 From: Ioannis Baziotis <ibaziotis@xxxxxxxxx> *Apologize for multiple postings* Hello everyone, We would kindly ask your attention to a 4-days Workshop that will be offered VIRTUALLY in the period 25-28th March 2024. Based on our experience, we are pretty sure that this workshop will provide VALUABLE new knowledge for the undergraduate students, postgraduates, PhD, postdocs, senior scientists, and lab managers in the theory and practice of EPMA, with a specific focus on its application to geochemistry on different disciplines. This will be achieved through a set of online lectures covering topics ranging from the basics of EPMA, conventional major element quantitative analysis to new developments in X-ray mapping, trace element analysis, analytical protocols for glassy materials, halogen measurements, magmatic sulfide implications, and meteoritics (classification, and implications on planetary formation). Furthermore, live demonstrations are scheduled: (1) a live from JEOL instrument of how someone is measuring on EPMA, (2) usage of a *Soft X-Ray Emission Spectrometer* (SXES) LR (Li) and application to *battery research*, and (3) a New solution for analysis of geological samples using Unity *BEX imaging detector and AZtec Wave WDS*. New for this year: an open discussion and a virtual socializing event option via *Gather.Town* is available during Registration process. *Choose the Gather.Town option, and Let`s meet and chat together *(Gather.Town may be cancelled in case of small enrollment (<50 participants))! The early registration fee is 40 euros and includes the attendance at the workshop, and FULL access to online material (recordings, presentations, transcript). Late Registration (after 31st December 2023) is possible, however, the registration fee is increased by 30% at 52 Euros. Therefore, book your virtual seat as soon as possible. *POST-WORKSHOP BENEFITS:* 1. All participants will be granted access to the recorded material, presentations and transcripts for up to two weeks following the conclusion of the workshop. 2. During the workshop, a link will be provided to a platform where attendees can submit their questions or comments, and the respective speaker will provide a response after (within couple of weeks) the completion of the workshop. This feature is particularly useful for participants who are unable to attend the workshop live but plan to view the recorded materials at a later time.
