Interoperable electron Microscopy Platform for advanced RESearch and Services

Horizon Europe

Acronym: IMPRESS

Description

IMPRESS is an ambitious project that addresses a major evolution in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) from a laboratory technique to a broad-impact advanced analytical method that is capable of unprecedented integrated experiments and user-driven innovation.

A central objective is the development of concepts and the construction of prototypes for ground-breaking new TEM instrumentation with unique flexibility and interoperability of customized sample environments, creating radically improved services for users of analytical research infrastructures (RIs) and business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
