Aims of IUVSTA school
This school is aimed at:
- Scientists, doctoral students, and engineers from universities, research centers and industry.
- People who need vacuum technology in their work and who use this technology but are not yet experts in this field, as well as beginners and newcomers to this field.
The IUVSTA Vacuum School has set itself the following goal:
- To bridge the gap between complicated technical literature and practical requirements, to provide guidance in the field of vacuum technology, and to demonstrate relevant methods fo
