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 November 12th to 14th 2024, 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.

The course is open to all interested parties. The fee is 370 Euro for all participants and includes teaching materials. For German customers and for customers from outside the EU (this is also applicable to the UK) the German VAT of 19% will be charged.  

To participants who don’t already have FactSage installed on their PCs we will make FactSage available for use during the course. 

We will accept a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 10 participants, so please register as soon as possible by filling in the registration form below. Registration deadline is November 5th, 2024.

Contents of the course: 
1) Introduction to thermochemical databases 
2) Creating a database as input for the CalphadOptimizer 
3) Setting up experiments 
4) Weight factor settings 
5) Setting up the optimization and hyperparameters 
6) Analyzing the optimization results
7) Performing a real-life optimization based on literature data 

This training course has been designed to be interactive and engaging, featuring real-life optimization examples from the literature to ensure that participants receive practical, hands-on experience.

We are looking forward to welcoming you online! 

For the current course we offer two free seats for interested graduate and PhD students!
