A workshop on TEM Data collection and analysis will be organized at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway, 2.-4. June 2026.

This year’s workshop will focus on how to collect and analyze (big) data in transmission electron diffraction in a more automatic way than is done traditionally. New possibilities for automation and multidimensional data acquisition, collection routines, better cameras/detectors, and open-source data post-processing have developed over the last years. In this three days workshop, invited experts and skilled educators in the field will address the essentials and recent developments through lectures and hands-on practical computer sessions. The workshop will cover several topics connected to digital TEM including three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) and structure analysis to four-dimensional scanning techniques (4D-STEM, scanning precession ED (SPED) and differential phase contrast (DPC)). You will learn how to use various open-source scientific Python packages to acquire diffraction data (instamatic and PyJEM) and how to analyze these multidimensional data sets (Jana/PETS2 and pyxem/HyperSpy). 

- We invite PhD students, postdocs and researchers working with digital TEM in the physical sciences to participate!

Registration

Registration for the NEMI Trondheim workshop on Digital TEM 2026

Registration deadline: 15th May, 2026

Participation is free, but you have to register before 15th May 2026. 

Travel and accommodation should be organized by the participant s themselves and covered by participants’ institutions. We have reserved 15 rooms at Comfort Park Hotel in Trondheim, which is not too far from NTNU campus from 1. to 5. June for 1495,- NOK per night. Use this link to order hotel here: NEMI - Hotel booking - Comfort Hotel Park.

There will be a maximum of 36 participants. In case of large interest, priority will be given to early career scientists active in the field and a balanced participation of different countries/labs is taken into consideration.
