ECIS seeks to achieve its objectives by:

  • Organising each year a conference in a European country in the field of colloid and interface science
  • Making Awards at the annual conference to recognise and promote excellence in the field of colloid and interface science
  • Organising a conference each two years in a European country for research students in the field of colloid and interface science
The two ECIS Awards are the Overbeek Gold Medal (to acknowledge excellent careers in and inspiring contributions to the field of colloid and interface science) and the Rhodia Prize (to a European scientist for original scientific work of outstanding quality, described published in the five years before the prize is delivered).

All members of ECIS are invited each year to nominate candidates for these ECIS Awards.
