European Course of Cryogenics
The two commonly organized academic courses in “Cryogenic Fundamentals” and “Cryogenic Processes” are offered—with reservation as for the pandemic situation—in 2022 again.
Intention and scope of the course
Based on an agreement between between the respective technical universities the commonly organized academic courses in “Cryogenic Fundamentals” and “Cryogenic Processes” are offered to students every year in the summer semester.
Lecture dates and locations
Date | Location | Focus |
---|---|---|
Aug. 15th – Aug. 19th 2022 | TU Dresden, Germany | Basics; liquid hydrogen technology |
Aug. 22nd – Aug. 26th 2022 | Twente Univ, Netherlands | Helium technology, cryocoolers, instrumentation |
Aug. 29th – Sept. 2nd 2022 | NTNU Trondheim, Norway | Liquefied natural gas |
Academic information
The content of the course is comprising two main subjects:
• Cryogenic Fundamentals
• Cryogenic Processes
In total these are rated with maximum12 ECTS credits. An acknowledgement for the respective studies depends on the local university regulations. Participants from other universities are asked to double-check an acknowledgement at their respective home university. The courses will be held exclusively in English. Full day classes are scheduled each week from Monday to Friday. Lecturers are members of said organizing universities and as well as a number of dedicated external experts. In addition to the lessons, technical excursions, tutorials and demonstrations will be performed. The course will finish with two written examinations (fundamentals, processes) according to ECTS standards.

You are a student of one of the three organizing universities? Direct your application to your local contact person. You are student of another university? Just direct your application as the German students to the Technische Universitaet Dresden contact person. No strict application deadline is given. But, due to organizational, housing, travel and funding reasons, only a limited number of participants from each university, plus a limited number of international guest students can be admitted. Therefore all applicants are encouraged to hand in their application as soon as possible (before end of Mai best) to increase their chances for participation.
