    AWE-1 will be the inaugural workshop & exhibition organized and sponsored by the North American Ellipsometry Association (NAEA).  This meeting aims to bring together experienced leaders, early-career professionals, and especially students from various academic, public, and industrial sectors.  The main purpose is to provide a forum for beginners and experts alike to learn, exchange, and share scientific and technological knowledge, as well as recent advancements, regarding ellipsometry and related techniques.  International participants are welcome and expressly encouraged.
