The Fifth International Summer School on Aerogels held in Cologne is organized cooperatively by the Hamburg University of Technology (Germany), the University of Salzburg (Austria), the Empa in Dübendorf (Switzerland) and the Department of Aerogels from Institute of Materials Research at the German Aerospace Center. During this workshop participants will be introduced to the fascinating properties of aerogels and perform many lab-on experiments learning how to synthesize and characterize inorganic, organic and bio-polymeric aerogels.

Students, PhD-Students, Postdocs, experienced scientists from universities, research organization and industry are invited to make a unique experience: the manufacturing and characterization of a fascinating nanostructured material.
