Free Educational Package
We proudly offer free educational materials intended for teaching and learning basic thermodynamics and kinetic theory at an undergraduate level. This is achieved through a cooperation with Professors Mats Hillert and Malin Selleby from the department of Materials Science and Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.
Discounted License for Academic Research
Thermo-Calc Software has long supported universities in teaching and research. We offer discounted pricing to academic institutions that have authority to teach and examine undergraduate students. Please ask about this when you request a quotation.
Researchers
The Thermo-Calc suite of products is ideal for research in an academic environment because it provides information that is essential for understanding the properties of materials and addressing engineering challenges without requiring experimental work or relying on handbooks that may have outdated or missing information.
