Modern nanotechnology: EuroCVD22-Baltic16 conference a success

Published on 11/07/2019

280 participants took part in the 5-day international scientific conference “EuroCVD 22-BalticALD 16” organised by LIST on 24-28 June 2019 in Luxembourg Kirchberg at Luxexpo-TheBox.

"The conference has started in 1977, it is thus quite an old tradition and we have the chance this year to host it in Luxembourg…it is a very good recognition and I am really proud of that" said the scientific conference chair, Naoufal Bahlawane from LIST. As it has been apparent from the audience’s feedbacks, the emerging young CVD-ALD research community has been well represented this year in Luxembourg. The combination of experienced and young participants like PhDs contributed in making this event a great opportunity for intense exchange and development of joint discussions.

As one of the leading meetings for process and materials development, this conference has been a showcase of the forefront research addressing up-to-date challenges and state-of-the-art chemical processing from the gas phase (CVD, ALD, Energy-assisted CVD/ALD, MOVPE, RIE, ALE). The conference offered a high quality scientific programme with invited and contributed lectures in key development areas. Bahlawane also mentioned: "This year, we had a decent amount of people that are working in this field …it was a good chance to get a global overview about the progress in this fields in various places in the world, not only in Europe".
