On the occasion of the
25th anniversary of the Swiss
Society for Thermal Analysis & Calorimetry, a symposium was
held at the ETH in Zuerich
on March 28, 2001. |
Introduction
The Swiss Society of
Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry was founded in 1975 by Prof. G.
Bayer, Zürich, Dr. A. Delay, Lausanne, Dr. E. Dubler, Zürich,
Prof. P. Lerch, Lausanne, Dr. E. Marti, Basel, Dr. M.
Müller-Vonmoos, Zürich, Prof. H.R. Oswald, Zürich, Prof. W.
Richarz, Zürich and Dr. H.G. Wiedemann, Greifensee. The society
grew rapidely and has now about 120 members. Members are from all
parts of Switzerland, from university, industry and manufacturers of
instrumentation.
STK is member of the ESTAC
(European Society for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry) and of the
international society ICTAC (International Confederation for Thermal
Analysis and Calorimetry) which cover 46 countries with 550 members.
In 1992 a new european society eurostar-science organizing
scientific conferences in Europe was born with a nucleus of the
board members of the STK.
Every year national
meetings of STK as well as from time to time joined meetings with
the French, the Italian or the German partner society take place.
The symposium ESTAC 3 was organized by the board members of STK 1984
in Interlaken with more than 300 participants.
STK promotes research of
high level and is presenting an Award Price for "Applied
Chemical Thermodynamics" nearly every year and also a price for
"Young scientists".
We are very grateful to Dr.
E. Marti who promotes Swiss thermal analysis over years as President
of the STK and to all other foundation members who are present
to-day in Zürich.
It is a very great pleasure
for me to open this celebrating day of the 25th anniversary of STK
in ETH-Zürich.
