The heat flow summer 2026

We are planning the following activities:

  • May 09–14: 5-day summer school on heat flow determination and interpretation (Mon-Fri, at Dokuz Eylül University, Izmir, Türkiye)
  • May 15–16: 2 day workshop on heat flow standards (Sat-Sun, at Dokuz Eylül University, Izmir, Türkiye)

Content and Objectives: The heat flow summer school is aiming to provide comprehensive training on heat-flow determination and evaluation with particular reference to early-career scientists, young researchers, and encouraged students with pretensions to focus on this topic in their future career. The basic idea is to give opportunities to be trained on techniques of heat-flow determination and to extend the network of researchers interested in heat flow and related research topics. The participants will be involved in discussions and working groups and they will learn tools to resolve challenges in their daily work on heat-flow research. The summer school will comprise lectures, short talks, different discussion formats, and interactive group activities. We also intend to stimulate the participants to engage with institutions and the public in their home countries to improve science awareness on heat flow, help to develop informed opinions, and enhance the transferable skills of scientists.

What to expect

  • five-day summer school on training master students and/or early career scientists in heat flow-determination and evaluation (preliminary program here-> program)
  • lectures, short talks, different discussion formats, and interactive group activities held by international recognized heat-flow specialists (find a list of agreed experts here ->Foto + CV)
  • providing tools to develop strategies to resolve challenges in daily work on heat-flow research
  • field work for temperature profile at a local borehole and laboratory thermal properties estimation
