We are sorry to announce the cancellation of the 12th Symposium on Vacuum based Science and Technology due to the low number of registrations.

We did everything possible to continue the good tradition of our previous eleven meetings. Unfortunately, this year, the accumulation of many factors that have made our times difficult also made our meeting impossible to take place.

Please accept our apologies for any inconveniences. For those who had paid for the conference fee, you’ll receive a full refund.

  • New trends and concepts in plasma-based surface treatment and deposition processes
  • Plasma physics and techniques
  • Protective thin film coatings
  • Additively manufactured components – plasma-based surface treatment
  • Thin films and surface treatment for biomedical applications
  • Thin-film solar cells and sensors

Contributed papers, accepted by the Scientific Committee, will be presented in oral or poster form.

SVC Tutorial Course

On-line tutorial courses will be offered in the Society of Vacuum Coaters Educational Program framework.

The selection of courses is underway.

Participants of the Symposium are welcome to suggest tutorial topics selected from the Program by contacting us at svbst@tu.koszalin.pl.
