Since its establishment on September 3, 1999, Taiwan Association for Coating and Thin Film Technology (TACT) has grown into the most active society in the field of thin-film and coating technology in Taiwan. Commencing from TACT 2009, a biannual international thin film conference has been convened, attracting more than 700 attendees from around the world. Moreover, selected papers presented during the conferences have been featured in esteemed journals, such as “Surface & Coating Technology” and “Thin Solid Films.” Furthermore, each of TACT’s international conferences has garnered endorsements from prestigious societies like the American Vacuum Society (AVS), Thin Film Society (TFS), Korean Vacuum Society (KVS), and particularly, Japan Society of Vacuum and Surface Science (JVSS) for TACT 2023 (https://tact2023.conf.tw). We look forward to establishing collaborations with other relevant societies and extending a warm invitation to all members to participate in our upcoming conferences.
