Competence for research and business
The European Society of Thin Films (EFDS) is a non-profit association active in the field of thin-film technology. The office is located in Dresden – in the centre of the European semiconductor industry and in an important centre of vacuum technology plant engineering.
You will learn about the focal points of current and future developments. You will meet the industry players from industry and research institutions.
You talk about ambitious topics. You find your partners for joint projects. You look at the issue from a new perspective.
We impart the basic technological knowledge, the scientific background as well as application-related questions on plant and process management.
Great event with good presentations. Fruitful and friendly atmosphere.
Looking for the next Workshop "Sputtering for Precision Optics III" - EFDS should plan to organize it more often. (Workshop "Sputtering for Precision Optics II – Digital Transformation Driven Trends in the Coating Technology", 11.-12. Juni 2024, Alzenau)
It's nice that there was a workshop in "our" region.
Very versatile program!
Top organization and execution.

The symposium provided an excellent insight into a wide range of areas that are influenced by hydrogen, its production and use. The resulting talks and discussions provided many new ideas and impressions of what is still possible and, above all, what still needs to be done to implement defossilization economically. (Hydrogen Symposium 2024, visitor)
“The event in Halle was very informative and offered interesting insights into the market assessment of hydrogen technology.”
In my observation, there was a constant, respectful and professional exchange.
The sometimes very different technical requirements led to increased interest, which perhaps not everyone had expected.
There were new insights for me in the area of PVD coating and I am looking forward to further developments." (Workshop "Impending ban on chromium (VI)" in Dresden 2024)
"It was a very successful event with a good mix of presentations from industry, research institutions and associations.
This made it possible to consider and discuss the topic in its entirety and potential solutions from different perspectives.
" (Workshop “Impending chromium (VI) ban" in Dresden, 2024)
"Many thanks for the welcome in Dresden. It was a very successful event and we were able to take away a lot of up-to-date information on the subject of the “Cr6 ban”. " (Workshop “Impending chromium (VI) ban" in Dresden, 2024)
"Many thanks for the successful workshop "Implants - When the answer is in the layer!" in Tuttlingen. For me and my colleagues the two days were very informative, the organization of the workshop, the speakers, but also the social program were very successful."
“The organisation of the industrial exhibition was well-done. The industrial evening was attended by the Thuringian Minister of Economics and Science, Mr Tiefensee - I am pleased that the event is recognised politically.
Compared to a large industrial fair, you meet a very specialised public here, which is reflected in the intensity of the discussions.
Both location and logistics are of course super.
That's why ZwickRoell and Asmec will certainly be there again next time.”

“I would like to extend my gratitude towards the organizing committee for this prestigious opportunity at the PSE conference. There were several talks at the conference that were very inspiring and insightful to me.”
(PSE 2022, Conference Visitor)
"Well organised conference, good scope, solid content in the presentations. For me, the conference and the accompanying exhibition generated a lot of ideas on how to grow my business and professional network. As always: great content, new an old experts and really good conversations." (V 2021, Industrial Exhibitor)
