About

This summer school introduces students to innovative materials for healthcare, energy generation, storage and efficiency, sustainable materials and materials for quantum technologies. The program includes both lectures and applied experiences given by UHasselt faculty and international speakers.

Course leader

Prof. dr. ir. Koen Vandewal

Target group

2nd and 3rd bachelor (bio)chemistry, physics, materials science, (bio)engineering students

Course aim

In this summer school, professors and researchers of Hasselt University as well as international guest speakers from the University of Lorraine (France) and Cologne (Germany), will cover subjects on innovative materials design. On the first day, there will be a welcoming session, followed by lectures related to materials for energy generation, storage and efficiency, and in the afternoon a visit with lab tour to EnergyVille. On the second day materials for quantum technologies as well as sustainable
materials will be addressed via lectures and a demosession. On the last day lectures and a practical
session will give insights in materials for innovative healthcare. Also a poster session is organised with
the possibility to network with researchers from the university and the Institute for Materials Research (imo-imomec) working in the field of materials science (physics and (bio)chemistry). The summer school will conclude with a with a recap session and a farewell
reception.
