Summer School on Materials for the Hydrogen Society
Chernogolovka, Russia, July 14-18, 2010
The Summer School-2010 is partly meant as a primer for the International Symposium on Metal-Hydrogen Systems, MH2010, which will be held in Moscow, Russia, from July 19–23, 2010 (see http://www.mh2010.com/).
The focus of the summer school is the basic properties of metal hydride systems, required for enabling effective use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. The properties of new and improved materials will be emphasized. Production, storage and the use of hydrogen will be covered, based on fundamental, atomic scale processes. The lecturers are all internationally known experts.
The School-2010 will be hosted by the Institute of Solid State Physics RAS in Chernogolovka, one of the largest research centres of the Russian Academy of Sciences located about 50 km north-east from Moscow (see http://issp3.issp.ac.ru/engl/). It will start with an evening session on July 14 (Wednesday) and it will end with a morning session on July 18 (Sunday).
