The scientific and organizing committees behind ECASIA bring together leading experts from across Europe and beyond to shape a conference program that reflects the full breadth of surface and interface analysis. These committees are responsible for reviewing submitted abstracts, selecting invited speakers, and designing the technical sessions that form the core of the event. Their work ensures that topics ranging from fundamental surface science to applied industrial techniques receive balanced and rigorous treatment. By drawing on diverse institutional and national perspectives, the committees help maintain ECASIA's reputation as a major forum for the surface analysis community, fostering collaboration and the exchange of new ideas across research groups and industry sectors alike.
A central feature of each ECASIA edition is the recognition of excellence through dedicated awards and travel grant programs. These initiatives are designed to support emerging researchers and students who contribute high-quality work to the conference, helping to offset the costs of attendance and encouraging broad participation. Awards are presented for outstanding oral and poster presentations, while travel grants target students and early-career scientists who might otherwise face barriers to attending. This commitment to nurturing the next generation of surface and interface analysts is a longstanding tradition of the conference, reinforcing the collaborative and forward-looking spirit that defines the ECASIA community.
