Calphad Optimizer online training course

If you want to learn how to use the Calphad Optimizer to develop your own thermodynamic databases or to improve on an existent open thermodynamic database, this training course is a good opportunity for you!

On March 25th to 27th 2025, we will host the next three-day online training course for the Calphad Optimizer. On each day, the course will take half a day, from 1 pm to 5 pm Central European Time (CET). 

The Calphad Optimizer is our tool to facilitate the development of thermodynamic databases based on the Calphad methodology, which was first implemented in the  FactSage release 8.2 and has been continuously improved since then.
