1st Online Workshop on Sustainable Thermoelectrics

29. June 2020 @ 09:00 - 19:00

1st Online Workshop on Sustainable Thermoelectrics

The 1st Online Workshop on Sustainable Thermoelectrics will be held June 29, 2020 on ZOOM.

 

Resilient energy conversion technologies and the related materials resources are required in times such as the corona crisis. It reveals the ever-increasing dependence on international supply chains. Local and autarkic power technologies would be a solution for this dependence. One of those technologies is thermoelectricity – the direct conversion of waste heat (e.g. solar or geothermal) into electricity. To promote the exchange of knowledge between university, scientific institutes and industry in the field of thermoelectricity as well as to provide the opportunity to discuss future co-operations we invite all to our first ONLINEWorkshop on Sustainable Thermoelectrics.

Participants interested in contributing oral are invited to submit abstracts.

Date: June 29, 2020; 09:00 a.m
Venue: Zoom online meeting
