Invitations to the Scientific Talks and Teaching Demonstrations
On April 21 and 23, 2026, the Department of Materials Science will host academic presentations and teaching demonstrations as part of the appointment process for the newly established W3 professorship in Materials for Nuclear Fusion Technology.
The new chair is scheduled to begin operations in 2027.
Lectures and teaching demonstrations are open to the public. Academic and non-academic staff, as well as students, are cordially invited to attend.
