• One of the Research Laboratories of the Department of Chemical Engineering (DChe), University of Patras (UP), officially established in 2002.
• It started its activities in 1991 as a research group at DChe/UP, partly funded and in close collaboration, since then, with FORTH - ICE/HT.
• Important infrastructure. Versatile combination (unique in Greece) of several surface sensitive techniques ( XPS, UPS, AES, ISS, LEED, TPD and WF measurement) clustered around an ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) chamber for thorough surface and interface characterization of any solid material, especially in the form of thin films, either clean or interacting with various gases over a wide range of temperatures (-100 to 800 centigrade).
• Extensive collaboration network with European academic and research Institutions, including access to Large Scale European Facilities (Synchrotron Radiation Sources) for conducting advanced, highly resolved spectroscopic characterization of nanoscale materials.

• Conducting high quality fundamental and applied research.
• Development of human potential through educational and training activities (undergraduate/graduate students and post-doctorates).
• Surface analysis services to academic/research institutions and the industry.
