Welcome Notes

Conference Organizers

Dear Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that, together with the president of the Italian Society of Microscopical

Sciences and with all the organizers, we welcome you at MCM2011, the Multinational Congress on

Microscopy, that, in the occasion of its Xth anniversary, will be organized in Urbino.

The Congress venue is the Scientific Campus of Urbino University “Carlo Bo”, a modern building

surrounded by gardens and terraces, in which all congress activities take place, as well as Welcome

Party, Lunches, Coffee Breaks, Farewell Party, Assemblies and Board Meetings.

As in previous Multinational Congresses, Plenary Sessions, by outstanding scientists from Europe,

USA and Canada, will be in the Campus Main Hall in the morning. Parallel sessions on

Instrumenta-tion and Methodology, Life Sciences and Materials Science are further scheduled in smaller rooms

nearby.

Well known scientists, suggested by Austrian, Croatian, Czechoslovak, Hungarian, Serbian,

Slove-ne and Italian Societies of Microscopy, will chair the thematic sessions, where invited talks and oral

presentations will cover important fields of the session contents. 5 poster prizes per topic will be

available and winners will be awarded during the Gala Dinner, on September 8, at the Sala Raffaello,

in Urbino historical centre.

The scientific programme, resulting from your contributions and consisting of more than 320

ab-stracts, appears very stimulating. The presence of two relative new sessions , namely

“Ultrastructu-ral Pathology”, in Life Sciences, and “Microscopy in cultu“Ultrastructu-ral heritage”, in Materials Science, raised

particular interest, well reflecting a well known italian tradition and important Urbino peculiarities.

The large participation of young scientists, possibly also due to low registration fees and to a

num-ber of scholarships from EMS and SISM, demonstrates the full achievement of congress goal and is

a great pleasure for all of us.

The Scientific Campus, almost entirely at MCM2011 disposal, has an articulated structure allowing

the location of the trade exhibition at the ground floor, near the parking and not far from halls. We

worked a lot to offer 26 equipped spaces, where the most known companies in the field of

micro-scopy can display their recent instrumentations for all the congress time. To facilitate trade exhibition

visits, poster session on Instrumentation and Methodology will be located close to the commercial

exhibition area, and a coffee break point will be present from Monday to Friday in the adjacent

gar-den.

The visit of the magic city of Urbino, appearing, when observed from the Campus, as a middle age

castle, is strongly recommended to delegates. A continuous bus service will be at disposal of

parti-cipants and accompanying people, to allow to see the “Palazzo Ducale”, the “Oratori”, the “Casa di

Raffaello” and our green sweet hills with their attractions.

We should like to thank all persons who helped us in the organization of MCM2011, friends of

the Italian Society of Microscopical Sciences, colleagues, young collaborators, PhD students and our

skilfull and precious university technicians. We are also grateful to prof. P. Mengucci, who, with great

dedication and tenacity, took care of the Proceeding book.

Finally, I am indebted to the Rector, who gave us any type of practical support and its unlimited

trust.

And thank to all of you for being here and for making MCM2011, with your contributions, an

outstanding event in all fields of microscopy.

Sincerely

Elisabetta Falcieri
