7th International Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Summer School

Topics
• General Introduction to SOFC and the energy context
• Fundamental electrochemistry and kinetics
• The science and technology of cell component materials, steels and
interconnect materials, stack sealing materials
• Materials preparation & characterization, and Electrochemical measurements
(both device performance and investigative)
• Stack and system design, non-stack components and system
modelling
• Degradation (device lifetime)
• Market requirements and competing technologies
• Student work session, ECTS exam (optional), and open discussion
session

Following the successful pattern of the previous summer schools carried out
under the EU Integrated Project Real-SOFC and LargeSOFC, this year’s
school is targeted at newcomers to the field and is suitable for students of
graduate and PhD levels. It is also helpful for young professionals,
technicians and more experienced researchers wishing to review the basics
of solid oxide fuel cell technology and expand their knowledge. It aims to
provide a comprehensive introduction to SOFC science and technology from
fundamental science, through the manufacture and test of cells and
components to considering the economics and energy politics of the world
today and the place of emerging energy technologies in that world.
The school draws on the knowledge and expertise of a group of teachers
currently working at the leading edge of solid oxide fuel cell research and
development in Europe from universities, national research centres and
industry.

Set in Greece and held in early September, when the weather is expected to
be very pleasant, these schools have come to be known for a work-hard
play-hard ethic. Previous attendees have spoken highly of those earlier
schools and some students who attended the first introductory schools even
returned to the later ones - using this as general revision in preparation for
writing their PhD theses. The school timetable will follow that of
Mediterranean Greece, work in the morning, relax in the hot afternoon and
return to work as it cools in the late afternoon. This pattern allows some
beach time and time for the morning’s learning to sink in!

Informal networking is an important element of science and work in general -
also of this school, encouraging this becomes possible with the week long
format. Students will be given a mini-project to work on in small teams and
also be asked to give a short introduction to themselves and the work they
are doing (or expect to be doing).

Organization
The series of SOFC Summer Schools was begun in the EU projects Real-
SOFC (2004-2007) and LargeSOFC (2008/2009). Due to the success and
public demand it is now being continued by FZJ on a 'private' basis. All costs
of the school have to be carried through the participant fees and the industrial
sponsors' contributions. It is planned to integrate the SOFC Summer
School into a larger context of fuel cell and hydrogen education from 2011.

Student Fee and Registration
Registration cost per student is 680 €, this includes accommodation (5
nights - Saturday to Thursday – double occupancy, single +150 €), all food
(full board), tuition, school banquet and the half-day excursion. The
registration form can be found at the end of this document.
All registrations should be made by 15th July 2010 at the very latest. Note
that previous summer schools in this series have been “sell-outs”, places are
strictly limited and early registration is strongly advised to avoid
disappointment.

Hilfe

Die Suche / Erweiterte Suche im idw-Archiv
Verknüpfungen

Sie können Suchbegriffe mit und, oder und / oder nicht verknüpfen, z. B. Philo nicht logie.

Klammern

Verknüpfungen können Sie mit Klammern voneinander trennen, z. B. (Philo nicht logie) oder (Psycho und logie).

Wortgruppen

Zusammenhängende Worte werden als Wortgruppe gesucht, wenn Sie sie in Anführungsstriche setzen, z. B. „Bundesrepublik Deutschland“.

Auswahlkriterien

Die Erweiterte Suche können Sie auch nutzen, ohne Suchbegriffe einzugeben. Sie orientiert sich dann an den Kriterien, die Sie ausgewählt haben (z. B. nach dem Land oder dem Sachgebiet).

Haben Sie in einer Kategorie kein Kriterium ausgewählt, wird die gesamte Kategorie durchsucht (z.B. alle Sachgebiete oder alle Länder).
