INVITATION

Dear Colleague,

You are cordially invited to participate in the International Summer School on Vacuum, Electron and Ion Technologies. The 2009 edition is the 16^th in a series of events organized with the aim to act as a forum for interchange and dissemination of knowledge and ideas on the latest developments in electron-, ion-, and plasma-assisted technologies. We are pleased to present a faculty of distinguished speakers and experts from around the world focusing on the state-of-the-art scientific development with emphasis on both the physics and the engineering aspects of these technologies that have become important research tools and production processes. The scientific program will include about 20 invited lectures and reviews. Contributed papers are also solicited and will be presented mainly in poster sessions. Informal atmosphere, combined with the spirit of the sea, will stimulate further collaborations and joint works.

The official language of the School is English
