Taking “New materials and technologies for sustainable products and processes” as its motto, the International ECEMP Colloquium is set to take place in Dresden on the 25th and 26th of October 2012. Its main areas of focus will be processes and sustainability, fresh approaches to energy and new materials and test methods. Around 200 scientists and engineers from the worlds of academia and industry will be presenting their latest findings in the fields of materials for alternative energy concepts, biomimetic multi-material systems and novel nano-scale processes and the application thereof. A poster exhibition will provide an insight into the work carried out by stipendiaries from the ECEMP International Graduate School.

ECEMP – From atom to complex component   

ECEMP – the European Centre for Emerging Materials and Processes Dresden – is a Saxon Cluster of Excellence. Its scientists develop multi-component materials and related technologies for applications in the future-oriented fields of energy technology, environmental technology and lightweight engineering. The materials used belong to three material classes: metallic (steel, aluminium, magnesium, titanium), nonmetallic-organic (polymers, natural substances) and nonmetallic-inorganic materials (ceramics, glass). ECEMP comprises 14 subprojects involving the participation of 40 chairs from TU Dresden, HTW Dresden and TU Bergakademie Freiberg, and draws significant benefit from interdisciplinary links between its participants. ECEMP is financed by funds from the European Union (ERDF) and the Free State of Saxony.
