The workshop is organised as a low-budget meeting, with lectures delivered by leading experts and a programme tailored to the needs of both new and experienced EBSD users.  The format emphasises interactive sessions, poster discussions, and presentations by student award winners, providing a platform to exchange knowledge, best practices, and advances within the EBSD community.

The core topics of the 15th EMAS Regional Workshop – Topical Conference on Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) are:

• Fundamentals of EBSD
  • Historical perspectives and current developments in EBSD
  • Data collection workflows and instrument calibration
  • Crystallography, pattern formation, and indexing strategies
  • Sample preparation for EBSD and related microanalysis
• EBSD Applications and Advanced Techniques
  • EBSD in materials science, metallurgy, and steel research
  • EBSD in mineralogy and geosciences
  • High-resolution EBSD (HR-EBSD) and 3D-EBSD
  • Transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD)
• Industry and Community Engagement
  • Company-led sessions presenting new hardware, software, and applications
  • Contributions from student award winners (MAS-USA and AMAS)
  • Application of EM in mineralogy/geology
