TOPICS of ELECTROSTATICS2025

The Conference technical program is structured in session, which will be held over three days.
The Conference topics will be treated in invited plenary lectures, selected lecture presentations and poster sessions.
Posters will stay on for the whole Conference promoting Author presentation and spontaneous discussion.
