Welcome to the Conference website!

The European Thermoelectric Conference (ECT) is promoted by the European Thermoelectric Society for favouring the dissemination in Europe of the scientific and technical progresses of thermoelectrics, enhancing the communication between research institutions and industries for promotion of applications of thermoelectrics, providing a forum for exchange of information and achievements.

Experts, scientists and engineers from Research and Industry all around Europe and abroad, are all invited and expected for attending the conference and discussing the state-of-the-art of the technology, latest advances in material research, device design and market opportunities.

Scope

The conference will consist of invited and contributed papers during plenary, oral and poster sessions. The topics cover a wide range of scientific research that often bridges the gap between basic science and various applications of thermoelectricity. Papers are solicited from the following topics:

• Theoretical concepts in thermoelectricity and basic approaches
• New or improved thermoelectric materials
• Thermoelectricity at a reduced scale
• New developments in measurement techniques and preparation methods
• Novel approaches to thermoelectricity
• Applications in thermoelectric refrigeration and electrical current generation

Key dates

• 22-24 September 2010 - Conference was held in Como
• End of November 2010 - Proceedings of ECT2010 will be published online
