£ £ The fifth Asian-European International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering (AEPSE 2005) will be held from Monday, September 12 to Friday, September 16, 2005, in Qingdao city, China. The conference is organized and sponsored by Tsinghua University, Shandong University, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, National Advanced Materials Committee of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China and the European Joint Committee on Plasma and Ion Surface Engineering.
£ £ Rapid progress on coatings and films and functional surface treatments by utilizing plasma and energetic beam has been made in research and development for various industrial applications in recent years. It is the aim of the AEPSE conference to provide an open forum to discuss the state of the art and a perspective of scientific and technological achievement in plasma generation, diagnostics, films and coating materials, advanced plasma processing, functional surface treatment and applications.
£ £ In addition to the conference, the industrial plasma technology exhibition will be organized during the conference. The industry exhibition will cover broad industrial sectors, and can be of general interest for researchers in academia and industry. The perspective of plasma technology development and application for next generation nano-technology, information and telecommunication technology, bio-technoloy, energy and environmental technology will also be addressed both in the conference and in the exhibition.

Conference Language
£ £ All abstracts and manuscripts must be submitted in English. The invited and contributed talks as well as the poster presentations will be given in English as the official conference language.
