On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to announce the 8th International Workshop on Surface Physics (IWSP-2017) which is organized by the Institute of Experimental Physics, University of Wroclaw, Poland.

The sessions will cover mostly - but not only - the following topics:

- atoms and molecules on a surface – motion and functionality;
- superstructures on surfaces – properties and applications;
- nano-devices;
- functionalized organic and biomaterials on surfaces;
- physical characterization of nanosystems.
