We are happy to announce that we will be re-launching the User Group Meeting in Lyon, France, after a long pandemic-induced break. The aim of the meeting is to exchange ideas and experience in the field of CALPHAD-type thermodynamics and kinetics in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The meeting will be a two-day event.
The language of all presentations will be English.
