Description:
The following PhD course will present the last developments in the use of thermocatalysis for the removal of contaminant of environmental concern (CECs) and pathogens from water systems. Lecturers from both academia and industry will present the subject from different angles, encompassing: materials design and development (Dr. Francesca Deganello), functioning of the thermocatalystic materials (Dr. Giuliana Magnacca), integration of thermocatalysis with membrane processes (Dr. Victor Candelario), and toxicity/antimicrobial properties of thermocatalytic materials.

Important information concerning PhD courses:
We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year.
We look forward to your registrations.
