The SMS takes place at important establishments of European universities and research institutions. In has been held in the Czech Republic only once in 2006 by the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry and CZEMP. The EMS supports scientific and research activities in the field of membrane processes, mainly activities involving young scientists and experts. Therefore it annually calls for organising the SMS, whose XXXII year will be prepared by the CZEMP.
The SMS 2015 will take place at the Membrane Innovation Centre (MIC) in Straz pod Ralskem and in the Liberec Region. Participants will be accommodated in Liberec, the largest city of the region, 35 km from Straz pod Ralskem – the site of the MEGA company, focusing on membrane processes, primarily on electromembrane processes, and the MemBrain company with its MIC.
Lecturers will include leading Czech and European experts in membrane processes. Participants will visit the MIC, membrane producer MEGA and car producer SKODA AUTO. Important parts of the SMS are workshops at the MIC laboratories, equipped with the latest instruments and a unique line to produce membranes. Students and young scientists will also compete in a poster session. The programme of the event and further details can be found on the website.
The supplementary programme in the Liberec Region will emphasise local traditions and history. It will include a visit to the AJETO glassworks in Lindava and dinner with regional representatives at the restaurant of the JESTED mountain hotel, where quests will get by cable car.
The following topics will be discussed at summer school:
- Membrane Processes (general)
- Materials and Membranes for Electromembrane Processes
- Electromembrane Separation and Synthesis Processes
- Electromembrane Processes for Energy Conversion
- Process Design and Mathematical Modeling
- Integrated Membrane Processes
- Gas Separation
- Nanotechnology
- Industrial Applications
- Workshop in the Laboratory
Registration to summer school includes fees, accommodation, bus transport between Liberec and Straz pod Ralskem and all meals. To register, please follow the link
