Technical Training Courses

The Union supports National Vacuum Societies, which are members of IUVSTA, in organizing Technical Training Courses locally, in the local language for the principle benefit of technicians, production engineers and students. IUVSTA helps for the organisation and with a small subsidy for attendees. The IUVSTA grants are primarily intended to be used for travelling/accommodation subsidies within their own national borders for participants and lecturers at the Technical Training Courses.
