Partnership & Sponsoring
Supporting surface and interface analysis research through collaboration with industry and institutional partners.
Sponsorship Opportunities
ECASIA 2017 brought together 430 participants from 38 countries, with 29 exhibitors and 20 sponsors contributing to a vibrant scientific exchange in Montpellier.
Sponsorship requests for ECASIA 2017 were handled on a first-come, first-served basis. The conference offered a range of partnership packages designed to give organisations visibility among Europe's leading surface and interface analysis researchers.
The invited lectures at ECASIA represent the forefront of surface and interface analysis, bringing together leading researchers who present breakthroughs in techniques such as XPS, AES, SIMS, and related spectroscopies. These plenary and keynote talks showcase the latest developments in both fundamental understanding and practical applications across materials science, nanotechnology, and biomaterials. Each lecture is carefully selected to highlight innovative methodologies and emerging trends, offering attendees a comprehensive view of where the field is heading. The diverse expertise of the invited speakers ensures a rich exchange of ideas that stimulates discussion and fosters new collaborations among the international community gathered at the conference.
Beyond the technical presentations, the invited lectures programme is designed to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications. Speakers from both university laboratories and corporate R&D departments address real-world challenges in areas such as corrosion protection, adhesion science, thin film characterization, and surface modification. This balance of perspectives underscores ECASIA's commitment to advancing surface analysis as a critical tool for innovation across multiple sectors. Attendees gain practical insights into how cutting-edge analytical methods can solve manufacturing and quality control problems, making the invited sessions a vital component of the conference experience.
The invited lectures also serve as a platform for recognising outstanding contributions to the field of surface and interface analysis. Many of the speakers are recipients of prestigious awards or have made seminal advances that have shaped modern analytical practice. Their presentations often include historical context alongside future directions, providing younger researchers with a valuable perspective on the evolution of the discipline. The interactive nature of these sessions, with dedicated question periods, encourages lively debate and deeper exploration of complex topics. This tradition of excellence in invited lectures helps maintain ECASIA's reputation as a premier European gathering for the surface science community.
