This conference series is the occasion for the Coatings, Surface treatments, and Surface Engineering communities to come together and discuss the latest advances in the field.

The call for papers will be launched in October 2025 (closing on December 1st, 2025)

Topics of interest include:

• Thermal and cold spray
• Electro- Electroless plating.
• Surface texturation, hydrophobic./philic surfaces.
• Mechanical surface treatments.
• Sol-gel and organic coatings.
• Anodisation, PEO & conversion Coatings.
• Surface characterization
• Corrosion
• Tribology
• Additive manufacturing.
• Coatings for the food industry & medical applications.
• PVD coatings & thin films.
• Functional coatings (conductivity, shielding, catalysis, chromogenic,….)

A special symposium about Surface treatment for art & heritage: the Symposium ‘Arts and Surfaces’ will take place on April 24th.
