Invitation
Although small – and small is beautiful – Slovenia has a long tradition in microscopy.
In the last 20 years, microscopy in Slovenia has shown great developments. A non-exhaustive list of the new state of the art microscopes were set up in numerous research institutions in Slovenia.
Grand Hotel Bernardin Portorož is the epitome of an ideal conference location. Situated in the picturesque town of Portorož, Slovenia, it offers state-of-the-art conference facilities, breathtaking sea views, and luxurious accommodations.
Slovenia has an excellent geographic position binding north, east, west, and east of Europe.
