You are cordially invited to the 10th International Conference on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry, ICSE-10, to be held 08-13 June 2025 at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado.
The ICSE Conferences are the premier gatherings of experts and non-experts alike to share knowledge and learn about the latest advances and applications of spectroscopic ellipsometry and related techniques. The meeting consists of a wide variety of tutorials, invited talks, presentations, and posters that cover all aspects of the field, and provides ample opportunities for networking and discussion. The equipment display will cover the latest not only in ellipsometry but also in other methods of learning about surfaces, interfaces, thin films, nanostructures, and bulk materials under both static and dynamic conditions through the use of polarized light.
The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder. The campus is in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and is about an hour away from the Denver Airport by public transportation. Boulder is known for its blend of urban and outdoor activities, including a vibrant downtown and talented brewers and chefs. The pedestrian Pearl Street Mall includes numerous art galleries, cafes, restaurants, and boutiques. In addition to spectacular scenery, Boulder provides a wealth of recreational opportunities including biking and hiking. The Rocky Mountain National Park is about 1 ½ hours away.
Stay tuned for important updates about the abstract submission timeline, conference schedule, award nominations, and speaker invitations.
At this time we anticipate ICSE-10 to be a fully in-person meeting.

We look forward to welcoming you to Boulder, Colorado June 8-13 2025.
The ICSE-10 organizers
Third Announcement
We proudly announce the 10th International Conference on Spectroscopic Ellipsometry ICSE10 which will be held in Colorado, U.S.A., June 8-13, 2025. The main organizing team consists of Eva Schubert from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, David Aspnes from North Carolina State University, Alain Diebold from University at Albany, SUNY and Mathias Schubert also from Nebraska.
ICSE is a conference series which was founded in 1993 and is held every three years to share new ideas related to ellipsometry applications such as materials characterization, real-time process analysis, and instrumentation development utilizing the polarization properties of electromagnetic waves in the spectral region from Terahertz to soft-X-ray wavelengths. The conference brings together an international cohort of experienced scientists and leaders of the community, as well as many graduate students, PostDoc’s, and other early career professionals.
ICSE-10 is committed to the development of a collaborative, inclusive, diverse, and internationally conscious workforce, and is seeking opportunities to increase participation of a diverse and inclusive population of undergraduate and graduate students, but also PostDoc’s, and early career professionals.
Please mark your calendars and stay tuned for further information. A website will be launched soon and abstract submission details will be provided.
We look forward to welcoming you in Colorado in 2025!
We look forward to welcoming you to ICSE-10, which will be held 08-13 June 2025 at the Conference Center of the University of Colorado – Boulder. Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, less than a one-hour drive from the Denver Airport.
ICSE-10 will follow the organization of previous ICSE conferences. Honorary, Advisory, Program, and Local Arrangements Committees will be formed over the next few months and tasked with specific responsibilities. Volunteers are gladly accepted.
We will be sending you further informational Emails once the ICSE-10 Website has been established and more details become available.
We look forward to seeing you there!

ICSE-10 will introduce new student as well as life-time achievement awards. Students must indicate their status upon registration in order to partake in the best oral presentation and best poster competitions. Life-time achievement awards will bring remembrance to early pioneers in the field and highlight the importance of historical developments.
ICSE-10 will feature the following awards in recognition of excellent achievements at different levels.
The Paul Drude Award is traditionally the main recognition at the ICSE conference series, given to a young scientist for exceptional contributions to the development and application of spectroscopic ellipsometry.
The Innovation and Creativity Award will be given, also for the first time at ICSE-10, to recognize the best innovation and creativity in the field of ellipsometry.
ICSE-10 will feature an exhibition that runs from Monday to Thursday and offers a range of booth sizes in the Aspen Rooms near the main venue. Included amenities are tables, power access, WiFi, and security. Exhibit rates vary from Platinum to Bronze. Further sponsorship is encouraged through various events. Sponsors are greatly appreciated as a vital element to the community and the success of ICSE-10.
