Official Information:

The ever growing community of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry scientists working in the Central and Eastern European countries makes the organization of a conference and gathering all those interested in the development of the field a desirable event.

Central and Eastern European Conference on Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (CEEC-TAC) is wished to become a forum where researchers can meet, present their work, explain their results and discuss the encountered scientific and technical problems of thermal analysis and calorimetry.

Every two years, CEEC-TAC aims to gather scientists from Central and Eastern Europe, from Germany and Switzerland to Russia and Kazakhstan, and from the Baltic countries to the Balkans, Turkey and the Caucasians.

1st CEEC-TAC invites researchers in the field of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry from all over the world, to share experience and knowledge with those working in complementary fields or just using thermo-analytical techniques.

Besides the regular conference, we wish organizing a working session where in a relaxed and informal environment the participants can talk of their plans and their needs, thus fostering new contacts and further collaborations.

For the 1st CEEC-TAC conference we have chosen the city of Craiova, one of the main cities of Romania and the capital of Oltenia region. Here is the place where Carpathians meet the Danube, just above the Balkans, where Central, Eastern and Southern Europe blend together.
