On 14 February 2026, the HUN-REN TTK auditorium hosted the first national Cryo-electron microscopy conference, which marks a milestone in the history of structural biology in Hungary. Participants had the opportunity to learn about the Hungarian Cryo-EM Platform (HCEMP) equipment pool, which makes Hungarian science internationally competitive with state-of-the-art Krios and Glacios microscopes. The event highlighted that cryo-EM technology is not just a measurement method, but an innovative ecosystem shaping the future of precision medicine and materials science. The conference concluded with a message emphasising the power of collaboration: by sharing infrastructure and knowledge, Hungary has become an active shaper of the global molecular revolution.
