Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The 19th Discussion Meeting on Thermodynamics of Alloys will take place in Lyon, France from September 23 to September 27, 2024. Lyon is the second-largest metropolitan area of France. It is located at the confluence of the rivers Rhone and Saone, 391 km (243 mi) southeast of Paris, 278 km (173 mi) north of Marseille, 113 km (70 mi) southwest of Geneva. The capital of the Gauls during the Roman Empire, Lyon became a major economic hub during the Renaissance. The city is recognized for its cuisine and gastronomy, as well as historical and architectural landmarks; as such, the districts of Old Lyon, the Fourvière hill, the Presqu'ile and the slopes of the Croix-Rousse are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lyon was historically an important area for the production and weaving of silk. Lyon played a significant role in the history of cinema since Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinematograph there. The city is also known for its light festival, the Fête des Lumières, which begins every 8 December and lasts for four days, earning Lyon the title of "Capital of Lights".
The home of three renowned universities and several higher education schools, Lyon is the second-largest student city in France, with a university population of nearly 200,000 students within the Metropolis of Lyon.
As usual TOFA 2024 will be an opportunity for all generations to meet. Researchers, scientists and students in the field of thermodynamics of alloys are welcome to join this international conference. TOFA 2024 will be a single session conference based on invited lectures, selected oral presentations and poster session.
We hope to see many of you at this meeting.
