Following the success of last year's 12th International NanoSIMS Workshop at The Open University in UK, CAMECA is delighted to welcome the NanoSIMS community back at our headquarters in France!
13th International NanoSIMS Workshop
📅 Dates: October 1 - 2, 2026
📍 Location: CAMECA, 29 Quai des Gresillons, 92230 Gennevilliers, France
This year's workshop is being organized jointly by CAMECA and the NanoSIMS team from
the University of Pau (IPREM, UPPA/CNRS, France).
CAMECA will host the event at its facilities in Gennevilliers (north of Paris), while the scientific program is being coordinated by the Pau team.
The workshop will begin on Thursday morning and finish on Friday at lunchtime, allowing participants ample time to return home or extend their stay and enjoy Paris. We hope these dates, scheduled before the start of the academic year for many institutions, will be convenient for the majority of attendees.
