A short course program will be organized prior to the conference on Monday, April 4, 2005.
This 17th International Vacuum Congress IVC-17 and 13th International Conference on Solid State Surfaces ICSS-13 will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, 2-6 July, 2007. The local host is the Swedish Vacuum Society, which will work closely with the Finnish Vacuum Society to ensure the maximum exposure in the Baltic area. www.congrex.com/acsin8
The IVC-18 will be held in Beijing, China in August, 2010. The local host is the Chinese Vacuum Society.

IUVSTA has received on 23.12.2004 the donation from IVC-16 Venice on the account in Geneva. Many thanks to the Italian Vacuum Society for the prompt payment. We encourage for donation to complete the donation plan for the IUVSTA prize in Technology. It seems that we need at least 5 donations of 5000 CHF to complete the second prize. This information is useful when approaching company representatives about possible donations. - Obituary We are sad to inform that Prof. Eero Ristolainen, councilor of Finland, died suddenly on 3 January 2005. Details of forthcoming Executive Council Meetings can be obtained by clicking here. When available, these details include the agenda, schedule of committee meetings, travel advice and accommodation arrangements.
Satellite meeting on Opportunities in Material Science: from Nano Objects to Complex Materials will be held in Madrid, Spain, 16-17 February 2005. The venue is Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC, Serrano 113. ECM-98 will be hosted by Austrian Vacuum Society and will be held in Vienna, 30 September - 02 October 2005 directly after ECASIA. The venue is the village of GUMPOLDSKIRCHEN, located approx. 20 km from Vienna. This can easily be reached from Vienna by local train or car (approx. 30 min travel time). The meeting location will be a Seminar center at the "Deutschordensstift Gumpoldskirchen", an old abbey transformed to serve as a Seminar-Center. The ECASIA-05 will take place from 25 - 30 September 2005 at the Vienna University of Technology. The ECM 99 and ECM-100 are still open for invitation by national vacuum societies.
