Preliminary
notification
TAC 2011
Following on from the success of this year’s Thermal Analysis Conference, the TMG are pleased
to announce that TAC 2011 will take place from the18th to 20th
April 2011. The venue will be at Queens University,
Belfast. School of Pharmacy.
As we get nearer the time, full details of the programme will be announced.
For general information
about the Thermal Methods Group or to register preliminary interest in TAC
2011, please complete our enquiry form and we will be pleased to deal with your
enquiry.
The
training course on thermal methods organised by the TMG the past few years
has been well received. We are planning to organise another session next
year (18th April 2011), once again as part of TAC 2011 (19th and 20th April
2011), to be hosted in Belfast.
Attendees will receive a TMG 'Continuing Professional Development (CPD)'
certificate that will count towards their professional competency. There
will be a fee of ~£120 (~£50 for students) to cover costs, but will be
notified later.
At this stage, we would like your comments on the technical themes that
should be covered which will be of benefit to you or your organisation. A
mini survey has been set up for this purpose. It should take less than 5
minutes to complete and we appreciate your feedback which will be very
valuable.
We thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

The Mission
of the Thermal Methods Group
To promote awareness
of all thermo analytical, calorimetric and related techniques by a wide
range of activities, including regular scientific meetings, training
workshops and publications.
As a regular feature,
the group organizes two key meetings per annum. These are typically
held in April and November. The April thermal analysis event (TAC)
covers a broad range of topics.
The second
meeting generally revolves around a particular theme or subject area.
Recent Meets
The
recent TAC 2010 held at the
Manor House, Aldermaston was universally acclaimed as a great success. Attendance exceeded all expectations and
