6th International Conference on Applied Surface Science

6th International Conference on Applied Surface Science

The 6th International Conference on Applied Surface Science (ICASS) will take place on 17-20 June 2024 in Waterside hotel, Wuzhen, Zhejiang, China

The conference is organized by the journal Applied Surface Science(opens in new tab/window) and will provide a forum for researchers in all areas of applied surface science to present their work.

ICASS will report on and discuss current research on the role and use of surfaces in chemical and physical processes, related to catalysis, electrochemistry, energy, new/functional materials and nanotechnology. Also, the various techniques and characterization methods will be discussed. There will also be opportunity to participate in workshops specially focused on early- and mid-career researchers. These workshops will be free of charge and take place in the afternoon prior to the beginning of the conference.

This is a significant opportunity for you to hear from leading scientists in the area and to network with colleagues in industry and academia to ensure you keep abreast of recent developments in this fast-evolving field.

ICASS will host 4 workshops on the day of June 17th, free of charge to all participants to register. Find more workshop details on the conference program page.

Live webinar

We’re pleased to announce our upcoming ICASS live webinar on 18th March at 1:00 PM CET (8:00 PM Beijing Time). The editor-in-chief of the journal Applied Surface Science(opens in new tab/window), Dr. Henrik Rudolph, and the publisher, Dr. Biswanath Dutta will lead the discussion, provide you essential information and answer all your questions about the ICASS conference. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn more about ICASS 2024 and the forthcoming workshops.

Virtual Special Issue

There will be a Virtual Special Issue associated with the ICASS 2024 conference published in Applied Surface Science. The virtual part means that paper will be published as soon as they have been accepted and not wait for a complete issue. Only work accepted and presented at the conference and with at least one participant from the conference as a co-author, will be considered for the virtual special issue. All the submissions will go through the same rigorous peer-review process as all other submissions to the journal. However, the scope of the special issue might deviate somewhat from regular issues.
