The Materials Properties & Phase Diagrams Center

MSIT Events

Winter School: phase diagrams and thermodynamics for scientists at all levels. Advanced School: in-depth training on specialized materials science topics. Seminar on Rare Earth Materials & Magnet Technology: ideal for business and technology managers.

Programme

Advanced School 17-20 February 2025

Emphasis of the program will be the crucial interplay between crystal structure, thermodynamics, and microstructure. Understanding these relationships is often essential for understanding a materials system under consideration.
