20th Annual Meeting

23 January 2004

Université de Fribourg - Institut de Physique à Pérolles

___________________________


The 20th annual meeting, taking place traditionally since 1985 at the Université de Fribourg, will cover both invited and contributed presentations in the field of surface and interface characterization and modification. The organizers hope to attract interest as usual from academic institutions, as well as from industry. In parallel to the scientific presentations an industrial exhibition will be organized.


"New Trends in Surface Science - 20th anniversary of SAOG/GSSI meetings-"
