Objective
The ESTEEM consortium of electron microscopy laboratories for materials science and solid state physics brings together the major electron microscopy centres in Europe..
The project involves:
I. Networking activities
- To spread electron microscopy across the community and to regions where the technique is not fully exploited at present and where it will help stimulate economic growth..
- To inform solid state scientists and engineers in Europe about new developments in this increasingly complex technique.
- To improve the collaboration between different laboratories and set consistent standards for measurements.
- To establish a shared hardware and software infrastructure and to develop open access standards for data exchange, storage and instrument control.
- To offer remote access to the most advanced instruments.
II. Transnational access
- To open the major microscopy centres (Antwerp, Cambridge, Delft, Dresden, Orsay, Oxford, Stuttgart, Toulouse) together with their expertise to scientists from Member States or Associated States.
III. Joint research projects
- To improve three dimensional imaging of nanoparticles down to the subnanometer and possibly atomic scale.
- To push the limits of chemical and electronic mapping in nanostructured materials.
- To develop improved detection in electron microscopy for rapid acquisition of images and spectra.
-To develop tools for nanomanipulation experiments inside the electron microscope and apply these tools for the study of dynamic systems.
These efforts and objectives will not only strengthen the position of European microscopy, but also generate new technology for signal detection and support the European nanotechnology programme.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
