ASST Symposium Toulouse 2026

The "Aluminium Surface Science and Technology " (ASST) symposium will be held this year in France, in Toulouse, from May 18 to 21. It is a unique event in the field of science and aluminium technology, which brings together universities, research institutes and industry representatives to discuss the latest technological and research advancements.

The ASST 2026 program covers all aspects of the science and technology of aluminum surfaces. Its topics include surface modification methods and cutting-edge technological advances, characterization and modeling methods, performance evaluation, and the development of industrial processes.

Léa Rémy, our project manager for scientific coordination and corporate sponsorship will host the following segment :  "The Age of Precious Metal (1854-1886): A Brief History of the Earliest Applications of Chemical Aluminium"  / "L’âge du métal précieux (1854-1886) : une brève histoire des premières applications de l’aluminium chimique" for their 9th session, History of aluminium.
