Decision made to cancel the BySPM-2020 conference!

The BySPM-2020 Organizing Committee regrets to inform that due to the current epidemiological situation in the world and uncertain prospects for the timing of the resumption of mass events, it was decided to cancel the XIV International Conference “Methodological Aspects of Scanning Probe Microscopy” (BySPM-2020) in 2020.

The conference is planned to be held in 2021 (second half of October). The date of the conference in 2021 and other information we will inform everyone in November-December this year.

Best regards, BySPM-2020 Organizing Committee.

Since 1996, the conference had the title “Belorussian Seminar on Scanning Probe Microscopy” (BySPM). From 2006, it was renamed to “Methodological Aspects of Scanning Probe Microscopy.” In 2010, it was decided to elevate the meeting status to "conference". The aim of BySPM is to provide place for discussion of recent achievements in SPM methods, and their use for scientific and applied tasks.
