We are pleased to announce that The University of Reading has been confirmed as the host of TAC 2026.

We will provide regular updates as the programme fills, if you're interested in presenting please get in contact and submit an abstract.

Monday 30th March 2026

Monday we kick off the conference with the return of the TMG's short course, ideal for those new to thermal methods, those wanting a refresher, and anyone interested in learning different approaches to thermal methods.

The sessions are rich in content and cover key techniques including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), hyphenated methods, isothermal calorimetry, thermal microscopy (TM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and much more. To conclude the training session members of the TMG will run a Q&A panel for attendees to ask their questions or pitch any problems they may be having with their own work/research.

Please note, once registration opens places are limited so early registration is encouraged.
