European Society of Thin Films

Many thanks to the EFDS for organising this very exciting and focused workshop. The important insights into the challenges and, in some cases, already realised solutions of a circular economy in surface and thin-film technology, which were gained in the diverse presentations and personal discussions, are invaluable and confirm that we can make a relevant contribution here with our technology (Workshop speaker "Zirkuläre Wirtschaft | Strategien für Nachhaltigkeit & Effizienz in der Oberflächen- & Dünnschicht-Technologie", Dresden, 12/2024).

„
The event impressed with excellent speakers who offered exciting insights into the challenges and solutions surrounding PFAS. The balanced mix of contributions from industry, politics, research and application made it clear that the impact of PFAS on products and the environment is far greater than previously assumed. Developing alternatives within Europe is therefore essential - not only for our health and the environment, but also as a strategic competitive advantage."

...The feedback is well deserved, great work!

I took away many interesting impressions from the PSE!
Once again, big praise to you and the team! Super organised!

Many thanks for the excellent preparation and the great personal commitment of the EFDS team. We also felt well looked after and supported on site at all times. You could feel that it was more than just a good service from an organiser, but a great commitment and heart for the common cause and the "plasma community".

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.

Thank you once again for the great organisation. From my point of view, it was a particularly successful workshop. (Workshop "Sputtering for Precision Optics II – Digital Transformation Driven Trends in the Coating Technology", June 11-12, 2024, Alzenau, Germany)

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.”

"Es herrschte nach meiner Beobachtung ein stetiger, respektvoller und fachlicher Austausch.

Die teilweise doch sehr unterschiedlichen technischen Anforderungen führten zu einem erhöhten Interesse, was vielleicht nicht jeder erwartet hatte.
Im Bereich PVD-Beschichtung gab es für mich neue Erkenntnisse und ich bin auf weitere Entwicklungen gespannt." (Workshop"Drohendes Chrom (VI) -Verbot" in Dresden 2024)

"Es war eine sehr gelungene Veranstaltung mit einem guten Mix von Vorträgen aus der Industrie und Forschungseinrichtungen sowie von Verbänden.
Dadurch konnte die Thematik in Ihrer ganzen Breite und potentielle Lösungsansätze aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln betrachtet und diskutiert werden.

"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)

We have been attending the V-Conference for many years and really appreciate the atmosphere and the discussions. The large number of presentations from the industry shows how close the event is to the industry. My personal highlight at every V-Conference is the industry evening. This is where the last ties are dissolved and the 'potential business partner' becomes a face-to-face person in a relaxed atmosphere. The EFDS team leads through the entire conference with perfect organisation and support and masters the challenge of combining research with industry. The fascination for vacuum processes and thin films is the connecting element of both worlds.

"I would like to thank you and your team for the good organisation of the conference. the platform enables a very good exchange with the industry and institutes." (Participant V2023)

"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."

“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)

"Thank you very much for organising the very successful PSE 2024. We had a lot of fun, many interesting discussions and were able to listen to just as many interesting presentations." (PSE 2022, Industrial Exhibition)

“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.”

"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)
