17th Annual Meeting

Thursday, January 25, 2001

Université de Fribourg - Institut de Physique à Pérolles

___________________________


The 17th annual meeting of SAOG/GSSI, taking place traditionally at the Université de Fribourg, will cover both invited and contributed presentations in the area of surface and interface characterization and modification. The organizers hope to attract interest from academic and other research institutions, as well as from industry. In parallel to the scientific presentations an industrial exhibition will be organized.

The topic of the 17th annual one-day meeting will be :


"Self Assembly on Surfaces - Molecular Architecture"
