Former Symposia

Conference Information

The 10th Symposium on Vacuum based Science and Technology is organized by the Faculty of Technology and Education and Koszalin University of Technology under auspices of the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications, Polish Vacuum Society, German Vacuum Society, American Vacuum Society, Clausius Tower Society and in collaboration with the BalticNet PlasmaTec.

The mission of the Symposium is to provide a forum for presentation and exchange of research results and expertise in the field of vacuum and plasma science.

After already nine successful meetings organized alternately in Poland and Germany our goal is to continue and foster cooperation within the vacuum and plasma science community.

The symposium topics will be addressed by invited lectures of internationally recognized scientists.

Conference Topics

  • Plasma physics and techniques
  • Vacuum science and techniques
  • Protective coatings and thin films
  • Characterization of surfaces and thin films
  • Thin films for solar cells and sensors
  • Plasma based surface treatment technologies
  • New trends and concepts in plasma based deposition processes - HiPIMS technology

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

Publication

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

Authors of invited and contributed papers presented during the Symposium are encouraged to submit their manuscripts to VACUUM.

Industry exhibition

Manufacturers and sales companies offering equipment, products and materials related to all areas of vacuum based science, technology and applications are invited to participate in the industry exhibition.

Institutions and organizations being engaged in the conference subjects are welcome to present their aims and activities.

Because of limited space available, exhibitors are recommended to address the organizing committee for an early reservation.
