Seize the opportunity to meet colleagues, scientists and engineers from research and industry, to share ideas and experiences and to develop collaborations in Baotou, China. The technical programme will feature the latest research and state-of-the-art developments in all areas of solid-state cooling, heating and power generation, including magneto-, elasto-, baro- and electro-caloric effects to novel thermal engineering techniques and prototype designs, as well as practical applications.

Baotou, nestled in the heart of Inner Mongolia, captivates with its unique blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage. The city boasts the breathtaking scenery of the vast Gobi Desert, juxtaposed against the serene Maoer Temple, a testament to centuries-old Buddhist traditions.
