Conferences
One of the great things about working in science is the possibility to travel to interesting places to attend conferences, listen to clever people and share own ideas and work.
Future:
In 2019 I have a plan to attend:
No plans at the moment.

After a two years break I have attended back in the ICACC conference in Daytona Beach. Again, for the third time I really enjoyed it and in my opinion it is an excellent conference. I had a pleasure to present an invited talk in the SOFC/SOEC session, plus I presented a poster.
oral contribution (invited):
- "Development of protective coatings for the hydrogen and oxygen side of SOFC/SOEC interconnects" - S. Molin
- "Systematic evaluation of MnxCo3-xO4 spinels as oxygen evolution catalysts for alkaline electrolyzers" - K. Cysewska, K. Lankauf, P. Jasinski, A. Mielewczyk-Gryn, J. Karczewski, S. Molin

2015

I have attended the workshop 'Manufacturing Green Fuels from Renewable Energy' at DTU Energy, Risø Campus, Denmark. It has been an interesting workshop with many leading scientist in this field of future green energy. I have also attended previous workshop held in 2013 also at DTU Energy. You can have a look at the agenda here. I can definitetly recommend it to anyone interested in future energy technologies.
On 25th and 26th March 2015 I have attended a HTC/KME research symposium organized by High Temperature Corrosion research centre at Chalmers. I have become involved in a project in cooperation with Babcock & Wilcox Vølund in Denmark. They are a part of the HTC centre at Chalmers so I had a chance to attend a symposium on recent progress in high temperature corrosion. Great experience and a very good sceintific presentations on applied science.

Recently (November 2013) I took part in a Design of Experiment training organized by our Department. We have licence for Umetrics Modde 10 package and included were several training places. This intensive two day training held by a Umetrics representative was in my opinion excellent. So far my experiments and planning were mainly based on intuition, which in my opinion worked quite good, but having an additional tool even just to recognize some possible limitations and directions is only a good thing. I really enjoyed this training and would recommend it to anyone.
