Conferences

The Fuerzas y Túnel (FyT) conference is a biannual symposium whose purpose is to bring together the national and international scientific community to discuss the latest advances in scanning probe microscopy (SPM). The great versatility of SPM makes it a fundamental technique in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, with applications in a wide range of research fields, from materials science to virology. In this conference, we will focus on the use and development of SPMs for the study of materials (from the atomic level up to the nanoscale), the understanding of different phenomena (electronic, optical, magnetic, mechanical) in the most diverse conditions (from ultra-high vacuum to liquid media). All together will allow the development of materials with novel properties that aim to solve different social challenges.

FyT 2023 will be held at Fundación Rei Afonso Henriques in Zamora from 3 to 5 July 2023. Beyond scientific excellence, this event will also mark 20+ years since the first FyT conference in its present format.

international Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure (ICESS) is a series of conferences that brings together world leading experts on electronic structure and spectroscopy. The conference series dates back to 1971, when the International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy (ICES) was held in Asilomar, USA. Since then the conference has started to attract a wider community with more than 300 scientists from 21 countries participating in ICESS-14 held in 2018 in Shanghai, China. The scientific program of ICESS-14 consisted of altogether 8 plenary lectures, 40 invited talks as well as 41 oral presentations and 120 poster contributions.

Following the proud tradition of the ICES and ICESS series, University of Oulu is glad to host the 50^th Anniversary of the conferences series, 15^th International Conference on Electronic Spectroscopy and Structure in its northernmost location yet: in Oulu, Finland (August 21^st to 25^th, 2023). 

ICESS-15 will cover topics related to atomic and molecular sciences, photochemistry, quantum materials, imaging spectroscopies, novel instrumentation and nanomaterials. Special focus of the conference is in highlighting the new developments and applications of the use of synchrotron radiation and free electron lasers around the globe. We provide a full five-day program of plenary presentations and parallel and poster sessions with the most cutting-edge developments and science in these, as well as a chance to experience the beautiful arctic summer and Finnish nature at the same time.

In addition, a special session will be held in the memory of Prof. Charles Fadley, and his accomplishments and contributions to the fields of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and photoelectron diffraction.

The 37th North American Conference on Molecular Beam Epitaxy (NAMBE 2023) is a prominent international forum for reporting scientific and technological developments in Molecular Beam Epitaxy research.

The conference showcases important results from fundamental materials and device research, through technological applications, and into high-volume and low-cost production. NAMBE features the presentations of the Art Gossard MBE Innovator Award, the NAMBE Young Investigator Award, and the Best Student Paper awards.

In addition to a diverse technical program, vendors will exhibit the latest equipment available for material growth and characterization. The exhibit will surround the coffee breaks and poster presentations, providing many opportunities for discussions between attendees and vendors. There will also be a job board.

The Workshop on Quantum Materials Epitaxy will be held September 16-17, 2023, at Monona Terrace. The Workshop will be all invited and they are accepting poster abstracts through April 26. Read more about the Workshop on Quantum Materials Epitaxy here.
