Elasticity is a rich and complex topic where there is a growing appreciation that the spatial distribution of "stiffness" is hugely important.  This may be in the role of determining function or as a form of contrast, or as a proxy for some other measurement, or as a method of monitoring the state of something, or as a diagnostic tool, or, simply, as a fundamental measurement in itself.

Elasticity imaging in many different areas of research has grown up around many different techniques for many different applications ranging from
advanced aerospace engineering, through medical imaging to super resolution microscopy.

This meeting aims to bring this broad emerging community together in one space cutting across the disciplines, techniques and applications.
If determining the elasticity as a function of position is of interest to you then we'd like to hear from you. Topics will include, but are not restricted to:

• Elastography
• Phonon microscopy / Brillouin microscopy
• Microrheology
• Microstructural imaging
• Microindentation
