    ICSE-11 Proposal Solicitation

    The ICSE-10 organizers solicit proposals for the organization of ICSE-11. Please discuss with your colleagues and within your communities. ICSE meetings are corner stones in the history, presence, and future of the ellipsometry community. We seek strong teams for hosting ICSE-11 in 2028. Please send your short proposal to icse10@ellipsometry.us and /cc mschubert4@unl.edu. Please indicate the proposed main organizing team, location, and any further information you wish to provide.

    If more than one proposal should reach us, we will hold a presentation review meeting during ICSE-10 in Boulder. In this case, we will provide further instruction for your team’s presentation. We aim to have a decision for ICSE-11 ready by the end of ICSE-10 to announce to our community before the closing remarks.
