This event is primarily intended for early-career researchers, engineers, postdoctoral fellows, PhD and master students who wish to acquire a solid foundation in the field of thermoelectric energy conversion. The school & workshop will provide a unique opportunity for meaningful exchanges between internationally recognized experts and young scientists entering the field.

The program will feature a series of lectures delivered by leading researchers from France, Europe, and abroad (India, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, USA, and other countries), covering a large range of topics, including:

• Fundamentals of thermoelectricity
• Thermoelectric materials: state-of-the-art and emerging directions
• Electron and phonon transport
• Crystal chemistry and structure–property relationships
• Advanced characterization techniques
• Theoretical modeling and first-principles calculations
• Artificial intelligence and data-driven materials discovery
• Device fabrication and applications

In addition to the lectures, participants will have the opportunity to present their own research through flash oral presentations and poster sessions, fostering scientific discussions and networking opportunities.

Please note that there is no registration fee for all the participants. The organization will cover all meals during the conference, and accommodation for attendees will also be provided free of charge.

We would be grateful if you could share this announcement with colleagues, students, and researchers who may be interested in attending.

The registration is now open and the number of participants will be limited to 50 persons.

We look forward to welcoming you to Caen in April 2027.
