The International Vacuum Congress is coming to Sydney in September 2025. See our Congress website at https://ivc23.org/ for all details.

The theme of the Congress is:

Quantum Technology, Energy, Environmental Sustainability, and Human Brain Interfaces: The Pillars of our Future

The Vacuum Society of Australia promotes and supports the use of vacuum science and technology in Australia and the Pacific and Indian Ocean Rim regions. We achieve this through our activities in four overlapping areas: education, research, development, and industry.
