+The _[Open Science Community for Electron Microscopy
+(OSC-EM)](https://github.com/osc-em)_ has been working for more than a year on developing
+interoperable standards for EM data. OpenEM has been a major contributor to this effort,
+along with other partners at the [INSTRUCT Image Processing Center](https://i2pc.es/),
+[EMPL-EBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/), and other researchers.
+
+Recent updates on OSC-EM were presented at the [2025 Scipion for Facilities
+Workshop](https://i2pc.es/facilities-2025/) and the
+[ETH Domain Data Stewardship Community Event](https://www.lib4ri.ch/fall-2025-eth-domain-data-stewardship-community-event).
+
+Recent developments include
+
+- A new general-use schema suitable for material science
+- The [material science metadata extractor](https://github.com/SwissOpenEM/MS_Metadata_reader), supporting .emd and .prz metadata
+- The [life science extractor](https://github.com/SwissOpenEM/LS_Metadata_reader/), supporting SerialEM, EPU, and Tomo5
+- The new 'processing' section for single particle CryoEM (with [Scipion](https://scipion.i2pc.es/) support under development)
+
+The OSC-EM format is used for all data ingested with OpenEM. If you are interested in more information or want help using OSC-EM on your microscope, get in contact with us through the [OSC-EM mailing list](https://listas.csic.es/cnb/wws/info/oscem) or start a discussion on our [github organization](https://github.com/orgs/osc-em/discussions).

+Slides are available from both workshops:
