1. International Symposium on High Temperature Solar Materials When: 2012. 11. 14 (WED) 14:00 ~ 17:50 Where: Room 303, Materials Building, Yeungnam University Invitation “The International Symposium on High Temperature Solar Materials” will be held in November 14 th (Wednesday), 2012 at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Yeungnam University. As a part of KORANET (Korean Scientific Cooperation Network with the European Research Area) project, this symposium will be focused on the high temperature solar absorber materials for concentrating solar thermal power application (CSP). Three researchers from Switzerland and 4 researchers from Korea will deliver their presentations on high temperature solar materials, followed by group discussion for further understanding. You are cordially invited to this symposium.
