Interdisciplinary Surface Science Conference (17) was very succesfully held at the
University of Reading 30 March - 2 April 2009.
ISSC is the flagship UK conference series in the field of surface science
and thin film research.
The conference covered all areas related to surface science,
fundamental catalysis and thin films.
Further details may be found
here.
