The International Workshop on Inelastic Ion Surface Collisions covers the fundamental aspects of the inelastic interactions of particles with surfaces. It includes the following topics:

• Energy loss of particles at surfaces
• Charge exchange between particles and surfaces
• Electron, photon and secondary ion emission due to particle impact on surfaces
• Ion induced desorption, electronic and kinetic sputtering
• Defect formation, surface modification and nanostructuring
• Laser induced desorption
• Plasma-wall interaction
• Scattering of atoms, ions, molecules and clusters
• Sputtering, fragmentation, cluster and ion formation in SIMS and SNMS
• Cluster/Molecular and highly charged ion beams
• Electronic damage in 2D materials, soft matter and biological systems

The list of confirmed invited speakers will be updated regularly.

The conference programme will include a welcome reception on Sunday evening, a group outing, a conference dinner. The final schedule and more information about the social programme will be announced here in 2025.

The conference registration opens on January 1, 2025 and ends on May 31, 2025. To register you have to select a conference fee option and accommodation, which includes full board. The conference fee includes the scientific programme, welcome reception, conference outing, conference dinner and coffee breaks.

Conference participants are accomodated at the Seminarhotel Steinschaler Dörfl (=conference site) in single and double rooms. The accommodation fee listed below includes full board (incl. all meals) and is quoted for the whole duration of the conference, i.e. from Sunday afternoon to Friday after Lunch (5 nights). It cannot be split into individual days (no refund for late arrival or early departure)! In order to secure your reservation, we have to receive your accommodation fee (in full) until June 7, 2025 the latest (for refund in case of cancellation see below).
