18th International Conference on Positron Annihilation


We are honored to host 18th ICPA conference in US. Register to attend talks on positron annihilation spectroscopy topics and say hello to colleagues in person. Apart of science you will have plenty of time to relax, have a drink and meet like-minded people.

The event will be held in Orlando, "The City Beautiful", Florida on August 19 - 24.

Registration opens Jan 2018

The aim of this conference is to provide a platform for the positron researchers from all over the world to present their latest research results, communicate new ideas with colleagues face to face, and find partners for future international and domestic cooperation.

The conference proceedings will be published in Materials Science Forum and every submitted paper will be peer reviewed. The official language of the conference will be English.
