ICSPM

ISPM

The annual ISPM, or International Scanning Probe Microscopy, conference series was founded in 1999 by David Allison (U Tennessee, USA), Heinrich Hörber (EMBL, Germany) and Mervyn Miles (U Bristol, UK) with the first conference taking place in Seattle, WA, USA.

The early conferences had the title: “SPM, Sensors and Nanostructures”; this was later simplified to ISPM.

Each year, the conference location has moved to a venue on a different continent in the sequence: The Americas, Europe and Asia – although there have been exceptions to this sequence. So far, the conferences have been held at:

• 1999 Seattle, U.S.A.
• 2000 Heidelberg, Germany
• 2001 Tokyo, Japan
• 2002 Las Vegas, USA
• 2003 Oxford, U.K.
• 2004 Beijing, China
• 2005 Cancun, Mexico
• 2006 Montpellier, France
• 2007 Jeju, South Korea
• 2008 Seattle, U.S.A.
• 2009 Madrid, Spain
• 2010 Sapporo, Japan
• 2011 Munich, Germany
• 2012 Toronto, Canada
• 2013 Dijon, France
• 2014 Seoul, South Korea
• 2015 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
• 2016 Grindelwald, Switzerland
• 2017 Kyoto, Japan
• 2018 Tempe, AZ, U.S.A.
• 2019 Louvain La Neuve, Belgium
• 2020 Boulder U.S.A. – delayed owing to pandemic to virtual conference in 2021

Videos from these conferences can be viewed here.

International Scanning Probe Microscopy 2024 is the 22nd meeting in a continuing series of international meetings featuring research on scanning probe microscopy (SPM), sensors, and nanostructures that began in Seattle in 1999. This year ISPM will join with ICSPM32 and SPMonSPM in Sapporo. The goal of this meeting is to communicate the latest developments and applications of scanning probe microscopy methods. This meeting attracts researchers working in academia, government, and industry. It rotates around the world (USA, Germany, Japan, UK, China, Mexico, France, Korea, Spain, Canada and South America)

SPMonSPM

SPMonSPM (Scanning Probe Microscopy on Soft and Polymeric Materials) Conference series is a unique opportunity covering the full range of Scanning Probe Microscopy on soft matter, polymeric materials, as well as biological systems.

The primary aim of SPMonSPM steering committee is to provide an international platform for the exchange of research findings among globally recognized experts actively engaged in the domain of scanning probe microscopy applied to soft polymeric (bio)materials and living organisms. Industrial partners will also be part of the dialogue, facilitating discussions on the potential of novel SPM approaches.

In addition to providing a format for discussion and information exchange following the highest international scientific standards, the conferences give young researchers the floor to present and discuss their results in a stimulating international environment.

To reach these objectives, a short course, invited lectures and a company exhibit are part of the SPMonSPM conference program.

The scientific program of SPMonSPM is always including symposia with plenary lectures, invited and contributed talks and dedicated poster sessions on a broad range of topics including:

• Mapping at the nanoscale of the mechanical (and viscoelastic) properties of soft materials (polymer blends, nanocomposites, hydrogels, biopolymers, bioglues …) cells and viruses
• Nano-mechanical properties of soft materials (acquisition and analysis)
• Towards industrial, biological, and medical applications (food, personal care, cosmetics, dermatology)
• Characterization of the next-generation cosmetic bio-sourced materials
• Mechanical manipulation of single molecules
• SPM-based mechanobiology
• Cells nanomechanics as a medical diagnostic tool
• Combined multimodal SPM and correlative imaging modes (Raman, IR, SEM, …)
• High speed and high-resolution SPM (instrumentation and data analysis)
• Novel methodologies/processes for the data analysis including advanced statistics and Machine Learning
• Scanning tunneling microscopy and molecular imaging (including the liquid/solid interface)

Previous editions were organized in The Netherlands (Kerkrade - 2012), in Canada (Toronto - 2014) and in China (Changchun - 2016).

For the next editions, mainly because of the common interests (similar scientific topics) and for increasing the visibility for the scientific and industrial communities, the SPMonSPM and ISPM (International Scanning Probe Microscopy) steering committees decided to merge. This was the birth of ISPM^3 conference organized in 2020 in the US (Breckenridge, CO). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the young joined organizing committee was forced to have an on-line edition.

For the future edition organized in 2024 in Japan (Sapporo) conjointly with the ICSPM32, we all will be happy to meet again face to face !
