American Vacuum Society
Science and Technology of Materials, Interfaces, and Processing (formally the American Vacuum Society, Inc.) is a professional and scientific society founded in 1953 as a committee on vacuum technology. The AVS supports networking among its approximately 4,500 worldwide members who include representatives of academia, industry, and government. The society organizes events, including an annual symposium, and publishes multiple journals, including the Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology (both sections A and B).
