At the Summer School organized by Professor Thomas Gamse (TU Graz), the participants took part in an intensive course, on a wide range of topics from the field of high-pressure technology over a period of two weeks.

With 35 participants from 16 different European universities, the focus is traditionally on international exchange. Numerous lectures were held on various applications and background information on high-pressure technology. As one of 24 lecturers from ten different European countries, Professor Markus Busch gave two lectures on the topics “Kinetics of High Pressure Chemical Reactions Including Benefits” and “Application of Pressure and SCF Technology in a World Scale Process”. In addition, all participants were given the opportunity to present and discuss their research topics in a short presentation.

In addition to the lectures, the group was also able to visit the high-pressure laboratories of the University of Maribor, the high-pressure extraction plants of NATEX Prozesstechnologie GmbH and the company INNOWELD-Metallverarbeitung GmbH. The latter specializes in the construction of high-pressure equipment on an industrial scale.

In addition to the professional program, the Summer School also offers an ideal framework for making international contacts and networking during joint leisure activities.
