Networking
Networking activities( NA )The mobilisation of a large number of stakeholders in the different fields of electron microscopy has the potential to create a high added value, but this can only be reached if the way the research infrastructures operate, evolve and interact with each other and with potential users is well balanced. The networking activities aim to catalyse co-ordination and co-operation between the different users. This can be split into several measurable targets.

Advanced TEM workshops
This activity focuses on enforcing the recent and future developments in quantitative TEM for nano-materials science. T he goal of this activity is to spread the knowledge and get acquainted wich such an advanced technique as transmission electron microscopy. Specific objectives are to offer advanced workshops to microscopists in order to enable them to exploit the new possibilities of dedicatedTEM. A particular effort will be made in favour of the new EU member states and towards capturing knowledge and expertise from outside the EU.

Promoting critical mass in new European countries
This networking activity wants to enhance the critical mass in the new European countries. This will be done by bringing older and newer member states into a closer collaboration, spread the expertise and information by enabling the new member states to collaborate on problems of common interest in electron microscopy.

Standardisation
This activity contributes to implement a widely accepted policy of standards and figures of merit at the nanoscale. The aim is to produce European methodologies and protocols for the measurement of specific quantities (spatial, physical, and chemical), to develop necessary equipment and software, and to establish defined accuracies. A set of internal standards will be elaborated and made available to all partners in ESTEEM and beyond. The specific aims are the following:
A bank of internal standards will allow microscopy facilities to test their equipment, methods and software, and to provide training. Through equipment evaluation, closer contacts will develop with manufacturers of new and existing instrumentation, allowing for immediate feedback and identification of future needs and improvements. Optimised and standardised measurement will benefit industrial partners providing a common language for materials evaluation and characterisation. No real standards are existing at this moment.

A set of internal standards will be elaborated and made available to all partners in ESTEEM and beyond. The specific aims are the following:
- standardised measurements of nanoscale quantities: develop protocols for the measurement specific spatial, physical and chemical specimen characteristics, including associated software and case studies.
- standardised protocols for the evaluation and calibration of equipment: develop methods of characterising performance of microscopes, detectors and auxiliary equipment.
- elaboration and management of physical standards: create and maintain a bank of test specimens with known physical and chemical characteristics for nanoscale measurement
- metrology and precision: develop the theory of measurement in electron microscopy, optimise experimental design, create common evaluation criteria and figures of merit, determine theoretical accuracy and limits.

Remote access
This activity will focus on allowing users to get remote access to microscopy. By remote access the ESTEEM members will be able to use advanced electron microscopes from anywhere in the world through friendly user interfaces, secure access and high speed data transfer. This will optimise the use of expensive equipment and open new collaborations. Several hardware, software and communication objectives are targeted to realise user-friendly methods for remote experimentation.
