Energy Storage & Conversion, Advanced Materials and Material Degradation:
From Research to Application
Vienna, 5th to 7th of May, 2025
We are pleased to announce the COAST Conference on Applied Surface Chemistry, an exclusive event designed to foster collaboration between academia and industry. Limited to just 120 participants, this 2.5-day conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with leading experts in catalysis, surface chemistry, and material research.
Set against the inspiring backdrop of TUtheSky in the heart of Vienna, COAST provides the perfect setting to discuss the practical applications of catalysis, material degradation, carbon capture, and clean technologies. High-profile invited speakers will share insights into bridging fundamental research with industrial application, highlighting the potential of applied surface chemistry to address critical challenges.
Participation is by application, and places are limited—secure your spot now. Sponsorship opportunities are available to support this initiative, helping to ensure the success of this special conference. Join us to connect, exchange ideas, and drive innovation forward in surface chemistry.
