P-Olivier CHAPUIS - CNRS research scientist

Among the conferences and workshops to come:
- a symposium dedicated to "thermal transport and energy conversion" (EN07) will take place during the MRS Spring 2024 meeting in Seattle.
- the European conference on Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer (previously Eurotherm Nano) will take place in Girona (Spain) in June 2024: website. Some information about previous editions below.
- the NanoRad conference devoted to nanoscale thermal radiation will take place in Sapporo (Japan) in July 2024. More information here.
- TPV-15, the conference devoted to thermophotovoltaics, will take place in Madrid on October 1-3, 2024 after few years online. See the website.
- We are organizing a school devoted to thermophotovoltaics and related energy-conversion topics. It will take place in Fréjus (French mediterranean coast) on October 13-18, 2024. The nascent website is here.

Online useful material
- the articles belonging to the Special Topic collection on "Thermal radiation at the nanoscale and applications" were published in Applied Physics Letters in 2023. Some information on the aims can be found here.
- the KTIP session on Fluctuational Electrodynamics took place in Summer 2022. All talks are available online. Mine can be watched here.
- I can provide the slides of the 17h lecture on "Nanoscale Energy Transport: Beyond Planck and Fourier" that took place online for the Jyväskulä summer school (Finland) 2021. Lectures have also been recorded.
- I participated in 2021 to two webinars (for free), organized by a software company, related to the link between nanoscale heat dissipation, mostly by heat conduction, and macroscopic heat transfer. You can find the recorded videos here ("Tech Café", Q&A-like session) and here (more seminar-style, in French).

Research networks and projects
- A network devoted to thermophotovoltaics has been set up for all colleagues interested in this topic: the international R&D network on ThermoPhotoVoltaics, i-TPV. The organizers of the three last symposia on thermophotovoltaics (TPV-12, TPV-13, TPV-14) are involved. At the French level, the recently-created network TREE is involved, which organized two workshops (2022, 2023) recently
- There is a network devoted to NAnoMaterials for Energy (NAME) at the French level. You can find online material on its website. A scientific school was organized in 2022: MONACOSTE.
- The website of the EU project TPX-Power (Waste heat recovery through near-field thermophotonics) can be found here, while that of the EU project OPTAGON (Optical approach to next-generation refrigeration) can be found here. The website of the EU project EFINED (Energy Filtering Non-Equilibrium Devices), which ran until June 2022, is here.
- A large EU project devoted to thermal nanometrology (QuantiHeat) ended in 2017. You can read the final newsletter, which summarizes some of the results of the project, in the website.

Past conferences and scientific schools
- European conferences (previously Eurotherm Nano) on Nanoscale and Microscale Heat Transfer are the key EU conferences of our field. Information and slides of the 2014 edition that we organized in Lyon are still downloadable. Following conferences took place in Santorini (Greece) in 2016, in Levi (Lapland, Finland) in 2018 (some photos available here), and in Palermo in 2022. Next one will take place in 2024 in Girona.
- The key conference on nanoscale heat transfer in USA is the MRS Nanoscale Thermal Transport session taking place every odd year in the Spring session. Last editions took place online (2021), in Phoenix (2019, 2017) and in San Francisco (until 2015, 2023).
- E-MRS symposia devoted the nanoscale thermal transport are organized often. See the program of the edition that took place in 2019.
- The scientific school “Wave phenomena and phonon thermal transport” took place on September 2017 in Oléron (France). Presentations can be found on the website: here.
