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

The Kalorimetrietage has made significant contributions across a wide range of disciplines, including:

  • 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.

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/).

We warmly invite your active participation by submitting scientific contributions as either an oral presentation or a poster. The official language of the conference is English; however, contributions in German are also welcome. The language of your title and abstract will indicate the language of your presentation.

To submit your abstract, registration is required. The submission deadline is April 11, 2025. All accepted abstracts are planned to be compiled into electronic conference proceedings, and we intend to apply for an ISBN to enhance their accessibility and recognition.

Please use the following link to submit your abstract:
