EMAS President's Address

摘要

As President of the European Microbeam Analysis Society it gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to Trondheim. This, the 16th EMAS European Workshop, is notable for several reasons: It is the first time that EMAS has visited Norway; it is the most northerly workshop we have held to date; and, since I will be stepping down at the AGM at this meeting, it is the last workshop that I will welcome as President of the Society. We are very grateful to our hosts, the NTNU, for giving us this opportunity to come to this beautiful part of the world. Scandinavia has a very active and knowledgeable microanalysis community and I look forward to some excellent presentation and discussions from both our local and international participants. I hope this is the first of many such workshops here.
