The conference is the 7^th in the series of the events which started in 1979, Gyõr (Hungary). First it was organised by the Austrian and Hungarian societies. The bilateral co-operation has been broadened and now the Joint Vacuum Conferences are organised triennially by Austria, Croatia, Hungary and Slovenia in the years between the European Vacuum Conferences and International Vacuum Congresses. Each of the Joint Conferences has to satisfy the unwritten rules set by the founders of this series keeping high scientific standard and preserving the friendly atmosphere of a small, active community. The organisers of the JVCs have traditionally good contacts with the neighbouring countries and the scientists from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovak Republic and other countries have always given substantial contribution to the success of our conferences. The colleagues of our region are open to the international scientific community and internationally recognised scientists are regularly invited.

Topics of the scientific activity

• Applied Surface Science - ASS
• Electronic Materials - EM
• Nanometer Structures - NS
• Surface Science - SS
• Plasma Science and Technique - PST
• Thin Films - TF
• Vacuum Metallurgy -VM
• Vacuum Science - VS

The topics cover broad ranges of scientific activities in each field, e.g. Vacuum Science involves the production and measurement of vacuum as well as mass spectrometry.

IUVSTA Highlights Seminars

The IUVSTA Executive Council holds its 78^th meeting in Debrecen at the weekend preceding the conference. The representatives of the scientific divisions of IUVSTA will give an account on the latest developments in their fields.

ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION

A round-table discussion will be held on topics, which are most sought for by the participants. You are encouraged to give your hints and proposals in the ABSTRACT FORM.

ORAL AND POSTER CONTRIBUTIONS

You are invited to submit abstracts in any of the topics listed above (ASS, EM, NS, SS, PST, TF, VM, VS). The authors can present their papers orally (20 min) or in posters, according to their preference and the evaluation by the Scientific Programme Committee

Overhead projectors and slide projectors (5cm × 5cm) will be provided. Poster area: width: 120cm; height: 130cm.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Authors of all kinds of presentations are kindly asked to send their abstracts by mail or e-mail to be received by the Conference Office not later than February 14, 1997.

Guidelines for the submission of abstracts are given in the ABSTRACT FORM.

Authors will be notified by March 1, 1997 of the acceptance of their abstracts.

Presenting or first authors have to register and pay their registration fees to the Conference. Please note that only registered participants are admitted to present their oral or poster contributions. Papers of non-shows are not published and their contributions are not presented.

The Proceedings as Selected Papers of the Conference including the plenary and invited papers and some selected oral/poster contributions will be published in the journal VACUUM. The available space in the special issue of the journal limits the number of selected papers, however it is a good opportunity to publish the papers in the well-known international scientific journal. The contributions will be evaluated and advised for publication by the Guest Editors of the conference. The publication will be at no cost to the authors but please note that the Organisers do not order copies for the delegates. Obviously each paper which is not published in the special issue can be submitted to the journal individually on its usual way and then it is reasonable to remark in the footnote that it was a contribution to the JVC-7. Authors submitting their papers to the Conference Office will be informed not long after the conference in order to help possible individual submissions.

Submission of papers to the Conference Office: May 26, 1997.

EXTENDED ABSTRACTS

Authors of all accepted papers are invited to submit camera-ready extended abstracts (max. 2 pages of A4 format) to the Conference Office to be received until April 30, 1997. Papers received later cannot be included into the booklet. The A4 format will be reduced to A5 format and printed by the organisers. The participants will get one copy of the Extended Abstracts with the conference materials. The Extended Abstracts can help you to find your way among many lectures and posters, it is very useful in the discussions with the authors. Those, who do not want or cannot publish the whole paper, have a good opportunity to publish their results in a more detailed form than in a short abstract. This booklet will be registered and get an ISBN number for library use. Guidelines for the submission of extended abstracts will be given with the notification of acceptance of papers.

VENUE

The Debrecen Regional Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (DAB, Debrecen, Thomas Mann str 49) in the northern part of Debrecen will provide the facilities for the Conference and Exhibition. This quiet place ensures optimal conditions for information exchange.

Debrecen is 224 km east of Budapest, in the middle of the Great Hungarian Plain, on the border of Hortobágy, the Magyar Puszta, which is the biggest National Park of Hungary and famous for its special fauna and flora. Debrecen is the second largest city in the country and the economic, educational and artistic centre of Eastern Hungary, with a rich and unique cultural and religious history. It is abundant in thermal water. In the surroundings of Debrecen many precious pieces of the traditional architecture, folk-art and workshops of craftsmanship can be found, and this area is not far from the famous wine cellars of Tokaj and Eger.
