Thermal Methods Group

The Thermal Methods Group (TMG) promotes awareness of all thermoanalytical, calorimetric and related techniques by a range of activities, including a regular programme of scientific meetings, training workshops and publications.

Strategic objectives of the Thermal Methods Group are:

• to act as a focus for thermal analysis in the UK and contribute to the furtherance of thermoanalytical and calorimetric techniques worldwide, through the support of European and international organisations in the field
• to organise a regular programme of meetings on thermal analysis, calorimetry and related techniques. Joint meetings with other groups of the Learned Societies and with other European thermal analysis groups are encouraged
• to publish TMG News to keep Group members in touch with the proceedings of recent meetings, details of future meetings and developments in instrumentation, as well as the fortunes of their fellow thermal analysts
• to encourage younger scientists working in thermal analysis to present their work to a wider audience by making the TMG Award to provide expenses at major European (ESTAC) and international (ICTAC) meetings
• to promote the education of thermal analysts by holding regular seminars and workshops and by encouraging the exchange of information between the instrument manufacturers and users of thermal equipment.
