Iberian Vacuum Conference, RIVA-X

The Iberian Vacuum Conference, RIVA is a joint meeting of the Spanish Vacuum Society (ASEVA) and the Portuguese Vacuum Society (SOPORVAC), and follows the series started in Braga, Portugal, in 1988, changing alternative the location between Portugal and Spain. The main goal of this conference is to cover the fields of vacuum and its applications, particularly on the fields of Fundamental and Applied Surface Science, Thin Films, Electronics Materials and Processing, Plasma physics, Vacuum Science and technology and Nanometer Scale processes.

The main aim of the Conference is to provide a forum where the most relevant and recent results are discussed. We invite scientists and engineers of Spain and Portugal, as well as those from other countries, to take part in this event, especially junior ones.

8th European Topical Conference on Hard Coatings
One of the sessions inside Riva-X will be devoted to hard coating. Those submitting an abstract should indicate so on their forms.

Proceedings of the conference will be published in Vacuum. Check for details on the “Practical Information” section.

Topics:
Applied Surface Science
Electronic Materials and Processing
Biointerfaces*
Nanometer Structures
Plasma Science and Technology
Surface Engineering
Surface Science
Thin Films
Vacuum Science and Technology
Hard coatings
(*) In this session, the best posters/talk presented will be awarded by Biointerphases and MecWins.
