1 European Symposium on Surface Science - EMASST

Overview and objectives of Symposium
EMASST has pleasure to invite you to participate in the 1st edition of European Symposium on Surface Science to be held at the National Research Council (CNR), Rome, Italy, between 26 and 28 November 2014.
The symposium provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in material science, surface physics and chemistry, focusing on discussions related to the recent advances and current challenges, while pointing out the prospective interdisciplinary development of the six industrial fields covered by EMASST.
The European Symposium on Surface Science will be a unique event to encourage an unprecedented international cross-collaboration amongst fundamental and applied surface sciences and industrial world.
The conference will consider various new developments, both from an experimental and computational viewpoint. Special emphasis was given to the application of advanced theoretical and experimental approaches as well as multiscale and multidisciplinary approach. In particular the presented novelties will be focused on the potential application  and to the industrial fallout.
The short papers presented at the symposium will be permanently archived in the eLibrary of the EMASST website where they are easily accessible to the international scientific community.
In addition EMASST encourage and support to submit a full paper to the special issue of the multidisciplinary peer-reviewed international journal  "Surface and interface of Materials". The Special Issue entitled "Trends in Material Surfaces Science & Technology" is dedicated to the activities presented to the Symposium.
The book is published in paper and digital format and is widely distributed throughout the world. Papers will reference by CrossRef and regularly appear in notable databases, including referencing and abstracting services.

Main Subjects and Topics
The program of the symposium includes plenary and keynote lectures, oral presentations as well as posters. Oral and poster contributions will be regarded as scientifically equivalent in the program.

Oral and poster contributions must cover the six one of the following thematic areas: aeronautical and aerospace, mechanical, energy, electric and electronic, biomedical, chemical.

In particular will be taken into account:
