NORTEM (the Norwegian Centre for Transmission Electron Microscopy) is a large scale infrastructure
project supported by the Norwegian Research council and the three partners, NTNU, SINTEF and UiO, for
investing in and running TEM infrastructure in Norway. The project has two nodes, in Trondheim and Oslo.
This meeting is to acknowledge that the instruments are up and running.
