Thin Film Technology (TFT) @ ECS 2023 in Paris, France.

It was our pleasure to be part of this years’ 15th European Coating Symposium (ECS) at University Paris Cité (UPC) in Paris!

The ECS community is an amazing platform to foster international research collaboration and exchange.

This year, the TFT was represented by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr. h.c., Dr.-Ing. Philip Scharfer, Thilo Heckmann, Philipp Quarz, Philipp Barbig, Lukas Lödige, Julian Borho, Kevin Ly, Alexander Hoffmann, Julian Klemens, Nadine Zimmerer, David Burger, Jonas Mohacsi and Linus Janning.

We presented our research in the following talks and posters:

Looking back on a week of fruitful exchange and discussions, we thank the ECS organizing committee and University Paris Cité for this wonderful conference.

We are already looking forward to the next ECS in A Coruña.
