The workshop will focus on the rapidly growing field of electron beam spectroscopies for nanophotonics, driven by advances in microscopy and the development of novel techniques. To further push this field, it is essential to consolidate and expand a strong community of active researchers.

This event is part of a biannual workshop series that began in Amsterdam in 2014, with subsequent editions held in Sitges (2017), Orsay (2019), Kiel (online, 2021), and Antwerp (2023). We aim to bring together leading experts in free-electron spectroscopies, ultrafast microscopy, and more generally, the use of free electrons to explore new phenomena at ever-smaller spatial and temporal scales.

We are planning a 2.5-day format, starting on October 29 at 9:00 am and concluding on October 31 at 13:30, with ample time allocated for discussion. The program will include 16 invited talks (40 minutes each) and 14 contributed talks (20 minutes each).

Invited speakers:

• Alexander Weber-Bargioni, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
• Ben McMorran, University of Oregon
• Jan-Wilke Henke, Max Planck Institute
• Demie Kepaptsoglou, University of York
• Giovanni Maria Vanacore, University of Milano-Bicocca
