7th International Summer School on Aerogels

Cologne, Germany

20.09. – 23.09.2022

The department of Aerogels and Aerogel Composites of the Institute of Materials Research at the German Aerospace Center is hosting the 7th International Summer School on Aerogels in Cologne, Germany, on 20.09. – 23.09.2022.

It is organized cooperatively by the Hamburg University of Technology, the University of Salzburg, the Bavarian Center for Applied Energy Research in Würzburg, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology in Dübendorf, the University of Cologne and the German Aerospace Center.

During this workshop participants will be introduced to the fascinating properties of aerogels and perform many hands-on experiments learning how to model, synthesize and characterize inorganic, organic and bio-polymeric aerogels.

Why should you join?

  1. Get an insight into the science behind aerogel’s synthesis and their material properties.
  2. Hands on experience in numerical modelling, synthesis and characterization of aerogels.
  3. Learn about use-cases, projects and application in different domains.
  4. Opportunity to get in deeper discussion with the experts and subject matter experts from the industry and academia.

 

Students, PhD-Students, Postdocs, experienced scientists from universities, research organization and industry are invited to have a unique experience: the modelling, manufacturing and characterization of a fascinating nanostructured material.

 

Event information and registration for the Summer School can be found at: 7th International Summer School on Aerogels 2022

Update: Seminar Postponed

Dear Aerogel Scientists:

In light of the global COVID-19 crisis, we must postpone the Fifth International Seminar on Aerogels as well as the Summer School until September 2021.

However, we will organize an “Online Aerogel Seminar 2020″ on the original seminar dates (16-18 September, 2020) with selected oral presentations by video conference, online poster sessions accompanied by 1-2 minute videos for each poster, and webinars about various aerogel topics. The poster prize will be awarded as usual. Companies are invited to submit video materials about their new aerogel products for an industrial session.

The call for abstracts for the Online Aerogel Seminar 2020 has been extended to 15 June, 2020. All abstracts that have already been submitted for original seminar will be considered for the online seminar unless you request otherwise. Conference fees will of course be drastically reduced.

We hope that this virtual event will allow us to keep in contact with our colleagues around the world and learn of their new work until it is possible to meet again in person. We are still collecting ideas to make the online event as productive and enjoyable as possible. Please feel to email us at aerogelconference@tuhh.de with any creative suggestions!

Please check back soon for updates.

WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF AEROGELS

Aerogels are a fascinating class of nanoporous materials that exhibit a wide array of extreme and unique materials properties. Aerogels have traditionally been obtained through a combination of sol-gel technology and (mainly) supercritical drying. However, in recent years numerous new compositions and processes have made possible a wide range of amazing new materials and applications. As a result aerogels are now the focus of significant development efforts worldwide, with uses in many fields including insulation for buildings and oil pipelines, lightweight structural materials, aerospace, adsorbents and catalysts, capacitors, batteries, and desalination, optics, high-energy particle physics, drug delivery systems, and so much more. Please join us in discovering the latest in this exciting field!

Picture3UPDATE:

Dear Aerogel scientists, dear colleagues, dear Friends

I would like to update you about the upcoming Online International Seminar on Aerogels to be held 16-18 September 2020.

The seminar will be held completely online, most likely via the apps Whova and Zoom.

The oral presentations will be live streamed and (if the authors agree) recorded and made available for an additional 24 hours for those who missed them because of time zone differences.

We will also have a poster presentation component.  Each poster will have its own online zoom session during poster time with the possibility for breakout sessions with those who have questions. We ask the poster authors to make 1.5-min video abstracts summarizing the most interesting facts of their posters, which we will post on the Whova poster session app.

We will also organize online coffee breaks (likely topic-themed) where we still can meet and chat in groups!

As they say in Hollywood, the show must go on!  So, please submit your abstracts for oral or poster contributions before our deadline 15 June 2020 to aerogelconference@tuhh.de.

You can send the abstract first and register later, if you like. We’ll start the online registration  later and will accept the registration till 1 week before the eventOnly registered participants will be able to join, so please be sure to register!

Lastly, don’t forget to mark your calendars for the rescheduled in-person meeting of the International Seminar on Aerogels in Hamburg in September 2021.

We are looking forward to you contributions!

Best regards,

Irina Smrinova
