Welcome at the ECASIA 2026 website!
“The Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Université Libre de Bruxelles are pleased to welcome you to the 2026 edition of the European Conference on Applications of Surface and Interface Analysis. After 19 years, the capital of Europe once again hosts one of the most dynamic conferences in the field of surface and interface science.
This year’s conference will not only feature the latest advancements in traditional surface and interface analysis, but will also highlight cutting-edge research in areas such as in situ and operando measurements, combined surface analysis and electrochemical assessments, and spectroscopic modeling under real-world conditions.
In short, the 2026 edition promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking event.
The organizing committee, together with the city of Brussels, looks forward to welcoming you in September 2026!”
