Scope
The topics of 3S’17 will include all aspects of surface science, such as:

• Surface structure
• Adsorbates
• Surface reactions
• On-surface synthesis
• Particle-surface interactions
• Electronic properties
• Applications of surface science

These fields will be covered by about 30 - 40 oral presentations (20 minutes talks including discussion), to be selected from the submitted contributions. All other contributions will be presented as posters.
In addition to the scientific program, an important purpose of this symposium is to enable informal contacts and discussions during daily skiing activities. Therefore, lectures, poster introductions and poster presentations will take place in the morning and evening hours.
