Surface Metrology Festival

Our Purpose

Promoting education and research exchanges, and networking opportunities for people working with surface metrology as a primary or secondary discipline, especially young people. Envisioning active, supportive community of researchers, producers, users, consultants, and teachers, who develop or use surface metrology.

Surfaces cover everything

Valuable learning opportunities for industry personnel, students, professors, and researchers that can strengthen our special, transdisciplinary, surface metrology community.

Something for everyone, from beginners to advanced users and researchers. The program includes: basic measuring and characterizing of roughness, research planning and methods, the latest on multiscale analyses and characterization, and the latest on software and equipment.

Opportunities to share knowledge, research results, and to present and discuss current, new and pending projects. Young researchers are encouraged to contribute.
