26. Kalorimetrietage 2025

The Kalorimetrietage is a prestigious biannual conference dedicated to advancing calorimetry and thermal analysis. With a history spanning decades, the event serves as a vital forum for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to exchange knowledge, discuss the latest developments, and explore innovative applications in this dynamic field.

A Rich History of Collaboration

Founded in 1975 as the Ulmer Kalorimetrietage, later evolving into the Ulm-Freiberger Kalorimetrietage, and now known simply as the Kalorimetrietage, this conference has a legacy of fostering dialogue and cooperation among scientists specializing in calorimetry and related disciplines. Over the years, it has grown significantly in scope and influence, attracting a diverse international audience and showcasing cutting-edge research.

Mission and Goals

The primary objectives of the Kalorimetrietage are:

• Promoting Scientific Exchange: Providing a platform to present groundbreaking research and innovative technologies in calorimetry and thermal analysis.
• Fostering Collaboration: Bridging the gap between academia and industry to address contemporary challenges and explore practical solutions.
• Encouraging Young Scientists: Supporting the next generation of researchers through networking opportunities and sessions tailored to early-career scientists.

Achievements and Impact

• Material Sciences and Energy: Advancing knowledge in materials characterization, energy storage technologies, and process optimization.
• Biology and Biotechnology: Supporting breakthroughs in the understanding of biological systems and metabolic processes through thermal analysis techniques.
• Medicine: Enabling advancements in drug development, disease diagnostics, and thermal properties of biomaterials.
• Environmental Sciences: Addressing critical challenges in sustainability and environmental monitoring by characterizing complex systems and reactions.
• Facilitating international research collaborations that address global challenges and publishing influential findings that continue to shape the future of calorimetry and thermal analysis.
