Rainbow image Previous ISBB Conferences

The ISSB international conference series was initiated in 1959 at Asbury Park, New Jersey, USA, and since then, it has flourishingly continued its more than five-decade-long run as a once-every-three-years conference in different countries around the world.

The last one, ISBB 17, was held at Istanbul, Turkey, September 11-17, 2011, and was attended by more than 400 participants from 32 countries. The participants contributed 146 oral and 113 poster presentations (total: 259) in 9 sessions. The abstracts of all these presentations were published in the Symposium Abstract Book, while the selected papers were refereed according to the standards of the International Journal of Solid State Science (Elsevier). These papers were then published in a special issue of the journal.
