After careful consideration of all pros and cons, we have decided that the GTT Users’ Meeting this year will be a hybrid one. While this allows for personal, live interaction, for instance during our beloved coffee breaks, it will also make it possible for people not being able to visit us in Aachen to attend the meeting.
The 26th GTT Users’ Meeting will take place on Campus Melaten of RWTH Aachen University, starting on 26th of June at 13:00h and going until 12:00h on June 28th.
Please find below the preliminary program of this year’s GTT Users’ Meeting.

Instead of organizing the Users’ Meeting in sessions, each one corresponding to our traditional areas of application like we have done in previous years, we decided that the event in this year will have the topic “Sustainable materials processing“ as an overarching theme. On Friday we will have a dedicated session on database development.
At this year’s GTT Users’ Meeting, we will also have an extra session in the afternoon of Thursday, June 27th: we will feature a preview of a new software that will allow the simulation of kinetic processes, including mass and heat transport as well as reaction kinetics. We will also introduce GTT’s development goals for the next year for this software and look forward to your feedback and the discussion with you, which will both be invaluable to help us plan for the next development steps. Please note that this session will not be available online.
If you are interested in giving a presentation at our GTT Users’ Meeting 2024, please send an email, containing the general topic of your contribution, your name, and your affiliation to jr@gtt-technologies.de. There are still a few slots available for presentations. In-person presentations are preferred, but a few online presentations are possible.
If you would like to stay up-to-date with everything related to GTT-Technologies, including courses, future users’ meetings, and new versions of our software and databases, please sign up for our newsletter.
