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.

Kalorimetrietage 2025

We are proud and excited to host the next Kalorimetrietage in Leipzig, a city known for its rich academic and cultural heritage. With this new chapter, we aim to infuse the conference with fresh energy and inspiration, ensuring its tradition of excellence continues to thrive.

The conference will be hosted by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ in Leipzig. Leipzig is located in the east of Germany and enjoys a relatively mild climate. Having grown as a fair-trade and commercial center, there are numerous convenient ways of reach Leipzig. The city has a unique atmosphere originating from its important role in Europe’s commercial and intellectual history, and its current renaissance, making it known as one the most dynamic cities in Europe (https://www.leipzig.travel/).

 Directions

By Rail

From Leipzig Central Station, take the tram No. 3/3E in the dierection "Sommerfeld"or "Taucha". After about 15 minutesalight at stop "Torgauer/Permoserstraße", cross the street and take the street "Permoserstraße" in eastern direction. After about 200 meters you will find the main entrance of the UFZ togehter with the KUBUS.
