2021 International Conference on Surface Engineering

（8th ICSE 2021）

Aug 24-26, 2021, Weihai, Shandong, China 2st Conference Announcement Theme: “Green High Efficient Surface Engineering for Global Low Carbon Footprint”

The Organizing Committee is pleased to invite abstract submission and participation to the 8th International Conference on Surface Engineering (ICSE 2021). Surface engineering is a multi-disciplinary field that involves a wide range of sciences and technologies. Unique surface properties including surface functionalization, surface strengthening, surface protection and surface decoration have been created by more green and high efficient surface engineering technologies. New and improved processes and coating materials are being researched and developed worldwide, which will contribute significantly to both economic development and global environmental sustainability. Surface Engineering Institution, CMES, is a well-established academic association, which has held consecutively 13 times the National Surface Engineering Conferences and 7 times the International Conferences on Surface Engineering (ICSE). These conferences had been very well attended by both domestic and overseas researchers and corporations. Shandong University of Technology (SDUT), founded in 1956, is now a provincial key university of science and engineering. The campus is situated in the city of Zibo, which is the cradle of ancient Qi-culture. SDUT collaborates with 97 universities and institutions in 27 countries in research, academic exchanges and teaching. In recent years, more than 3300 international students from over 40 countries and regions participated in our technology, language and cultural classes here and became the envoys of friendship in Sino-foreign relations.

The ICSE 2021 will deepen international collaboration and provide a conducive platform for academic exchanges and networking among researchers in the field of surface engineering and advanced manufacturing, and for companies to gain insight of the latest technology development in surface engineering and advanced manufacturing. We warmly welcome all researchers, engineers, academic publication media and companies to participate in the conference to present your latest research results, to network with your peers and collaborators, and to showcase your technologies and products.
