Carnot 2024 : Belgian Symposium of Thermodynamics
Carnot 2024: Belgian Symposium of Thermodynamics
Dear Colleague,
Dear Thermodynamics Enthusiast,
We are delighted to announce that the Belgian Symposium of Thermodynamics (Carnot 2024) will take place on December 16-18, 2024, in Liège Belgium.
Given your activities dealing with Thermodynamics and given our previous contacts, we cordially invite you to attend our Symposium to discover the significance of thermodynamics in various fields, especially in the current context of energy transition. Thermodynamics guides the design of materials, components and systems; it enables the coupling of heat, electricity, and fuel sectors; it imposes constraints; offers many opportunities, while still presenting challenges. Two hundred years after the publication of Carnot’s book, thermodynamics remains a central pillar in the training of engineers. Thermodynamics at microscale and far-from-equilibrium also remains intense among physicists. Coupled with younger disciplines, thermodynamics is useful to develop techniques that address society’s needs. Beyond energy-oriented applications, thermodynamics is also a powerful tool for investigating complex systems such as living systems and information and telecommunication systems.
This three-day Symposium will provide an opportunity to explore the activities of Belgian research groups. In addition to the Symposium, interactive international poster sessions will be organized, serving as a platform for researchers worldwide to present their works. Attendees will have the opportunity to present their posters as work-in-progress or to write a companion paper.
More information about the event and the call for papers can be found on
I look forward to seeing you in Liège (Belgium) from December 16th to 18th, 2024.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee,
Prof. Vincent Lemort,
Chairman of Carnot 2024
