Brand new Tomography Meeting

Following a number of successful UK symposiums, the first ToScA North America symposium will take place in June 2017.

ToScA, Tomography for Scientific Advancement, was established in 2013 by Dr Farah Ahmed from the Natural History Museum, to provide an annual meeting dedicated to those using tomography, filling a gap that had become apparent for users of this rapidly emerging technique.
By focussing on the technique rather than a field of research, ToScA presents huge opportunities for cross-disciplinary networking and is a great meeting for students to both present their work and gain a huge amount of insight and knowledge.
Through its annual meetings, ToScA has brought together a community of both researchers and commercial representatives who are able to discuss and collaborate both at the meeting and back in the workplace.

To further this, in 2016 RMS | ToScA membership was created to solidify the large network of users and offer members benefits and discounts at the annual meetings.

For the first time in 2017, ToScA will be hosting a meeting in North America at the University of Austin, Texas, allowing the community to become even more international and bring together a larger audience of users.
The confirmed Keynote Speakers demonstrate the quality of science that will be presented and discussed at this new meeting;
John Kappelman, The University of Texas, Stephen Gatesy, Brown University, Lawrence Witmer, Ohio University and Richard Ketcham, The University of Texas .With a number of hands-on workshops and informal networking events planned, it really is a meeting that should be in your diary.

ToScA North America will take place from 6 – 8 June 2017 at the University of Austin, Texas. Registration and more information can be found at www.rms.org.uk/tosca-usa

For UK tomography and microCT users, the 2017 ToScA UK meeting will take place from 6 – 8 September at the University of Portsmouth. Abstract Submission and registration are now open at www.rms.org.uk/tosca2017
