VENUE

THERMEC’2025 will be held at the campus of Faculty of Science and Technology of University of Tours, Tours. The University of Tours was established as part of efforts to modernize and democratize higher education in France after the events of 1968. The university was created by grouping together a number of older educational institutions.  The University of Tours is distinguished in the field of materials for energy technology research with the Microelectronic at CERTEM in collaboration with ST Microelectronics in 1996. University if also a home for a prestigious school of engineering called, Ecole Polytechnique de Universite de Tours.

Tours, located in the heart of the Loire Valley in central France, serves as a vital hub for tourism and culture. This historic city is renowned for its proximity to numerous châteaux, including the magnificent Château de Villandry and Château d'Amboise. Tours is often celebrated as the gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Loire Valley, which boasts over 300 châteaux, illustrating the region's rich architectural heritage and historical significance. The city not only offers a vibrant cultural scene with art galleries and museums but also delights visitors with its gastronomy and wine, drawing from the fertile lands and vineyards surrounding the Loire River. With its favourable climate and extensive tourist infrastructure, Tours attracts millions of visitors each year, making it a key destination for those exploring the beauty and history of France.

In July, Tours enjoys warm summer weather characterized by average maximum temperatures around 22°C. The climate is pleasantly moderated by breezes from the Atlantic, making it comfortable for outdoor activities. With relatively low rainfall and plenty of sunshine, July is an ideal time to explore the city's historic sites and surrounding vineyards.
