WELCOME TO ECOSS 2023

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 36th European Conference on Surface Science (ECOSS 36) which will be held 28 Aug - 1 Sep 2023 in Lodz, Poland, organized by the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics of University of Lodz.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 36th European Conference on Surface Science (ECOSS 36) which will be held 28 Aug - 1 Sep 2023 in Lodz, Poland, organized by the Faculty of Physics and Applied Informatics of University of Lodz.


ECOSS is a well-established annual meeting directed jointly by the Surface Science Division of the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique and Applications (IUVSTA) and the Surface and Interface Section of the European Physical Society (EPS).

The conference provides an excellent opportunity for scientists from Europe and from all over the world to meet and discuss the latest advances in the physics and chemistry of surfaces. Furthermore, it is a forum to discuss the progress of surface science in related innovation fields such as heterogeneous catalysis, organic molecular nano-architectures, two-dimensional materials and graphene, nanoelectronics, bio-nanoscience and functional and energy materials studied both using theoretical and experimental methods.

Why Lodz?


Located in the center of Poland, Lodz rapidly developed in the 19th century, when monumental factories of the textile industry and hundreds of Art Nouveau palaces and city villas were built.

Today, Lodz is an important academic and cultural center, with many public spaces located in modernly rebuilt post-industrial areas. As a place of unique history and cultural mix, with its excellent food and entertainment, Lodz will certainly allow to experience far beyond the scientific program of the Conference.

It is not a coincidence that the city has been selected by National Geographic Traveler as one of the “Best of the World 2022” destinations.
