E\PCOS 05 was held between 3rd-6th September 2005 at the historic location of King’s College Cambridge in the University of Cambridge, England. The symposium was attended by sixty-eight delegates and partners from many countries in Europe, Asia and America. The special atmosphere of the surroundings where so many influential scientists have worked inspired the symposium, which this year was on the theme of “New concepts and applications for Phase-Change and Ovonic technologies - faster, cheaper, smaller”.
