The Japan Society of Vacuum and Surface Science

The Surface Science Society of Japan (SSSJ) has merged with the Vacuum Society of Japan (VSJ) and become a new society JVSS in April 2018. This new society has more than 2300 members, and becomes a member of IUVSTA, the International Union for Vacuum Science, Technique, and Applications. Our JVSS has been only one surface science society in the world, and international surface science researches have belonged to vacuum science society in their countries. Hence our new society JVSS want to become a hub-society offering opportunities for all international surface science researches in the world to communicate each other and to expand the community of surface science and the related interdisciplinary research fields.
