Metrology and Properties of Surfaces incorporating SIC on Structured & Freeform Surfaces

London Southbank University, London

w/c 13th July 2026

We are delighted to announce the Metrology & Properties of Surfaces event (incorporating a Special Interest Conference on Structured and Freeform Surfaces) will take place at London Southbank University (LSBU) in London, UK during the week of 13th July 2026.  The event will be held inside the Learning Lounge at LSBU.

Metrology & Properties of Surfaces, a long standing international conference focusses on the metrology of surfaces instrumentation, characterisation and surface properties in engineering, tribological archaeological and medical applications.  All oral papers will be published in the Institute of Physics Journal;  Surface Topography : Metrology and Properties https://iopscience.iop.org/journal/2051-672X

Structured and Freeform Surfaces play an increasingly important role in many technology advancements ranging from optics to biomedical and energy applications. The functional characteristics of such surfaces supersede those of “traditional” surfaces, thus opening research and development avenues and new challenges for their specification, fabrication, measurement and verification.

The next euspen Special Interest Conference (SIC) on Structured and Freeform Surfaces combined with Metrology & Properties of Surfaces will bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government agencies to discuss state-of-the-art practice, and key research and development in the area of precision engineering associated with structured and freeform surfaces. The conference includes keynote presentations, oral sessions, posters covering the newest developments and research on metrology on surfaces instrumentation, characterisation and surface properties across aerospace, bio-medical and tribological archaeological applications.

The organising committee and local hosts for this combined event on Metrology & Properties of Surfaces and euspen‘s Special Interest Conference on Structured Freeform Surfaces are:-

Prof. Liam Blunt, University of Huddersfield, UK; Prof. Bengt Goran Rosen, Halmstad University, SE, Prof. Saurav Goel, London Southbank University (LSBU), UK; Dr. Mohammed El Mansori, France, Hassan Zahouani, France
