The Alliance Center Electron Microscopy (ACEM) is a virtual, interdisciplinary center that brings together electron microscopy expertise from all four BUA institutions. It supports researchers who rely on electron microscopy for their projects and strengthens collaboration in the life sciences, natural sciences, and materials sciences.

For postdocs, two offers are particularly relevant: Early-career researchers can apply for seed funding of up to €10,000 to conduct electron microscopy measurements that support the development of future third-party funding applications. In addition, ACEM hosts an annual BUA Core Facility Day, where core facilities from across the BUA are presented. The event offers opportunities to discover available infrastructures, meet facility experts, and explore potential collaborations.
