Puglia, Italy
On behalf of AIV and EFDS, we are pleased to introduce the first workshop jointly organised by our two associations, to be held on 14 May 2027 in Bari, Italy, as part of the XXVIII AIV Conference.
Under the motto “From process fundamentals to industrial implementation”, the workshop will bring together experts from Italy, Germany and other European countries to share knowledge and strengthen links between research and industry.
This cooperation is more than a joint event. Italy and Germany are among Europe’s leading centres for vacuum and surface technology, combining strong research, innovative equipment manufacturers and demanding user industries. By connecting the networks of AIV and EFDS, we aim to strengthen collaboration and enhance the international visibility of European expertise in this field.
We are delighted to work together on this initiative. Europe has excellent research and a strong industrial base in vacuum and surface technology. Our shared ambition is to help new findings reach practical application more quickly, which is why this workshop deliberately places the transfer of knowledge from science to industry at the heart of its programme.
With this first joint initiative, we hope to lay the foundation for lasting collaboration between our associations and their members.
We look forward to welcoming you to University of Bari “Aldo Moro” Palazzo dell’Ateneo, Piazza Umberto I, Bari
