In order to promote internationalisation between students
in the field of metallurgy in the Scandinavian countries the
International Seminar in Metallurgical Processes (ISMP)
of process metallurgy and material science is annually
arranged. Prof. Ragnhild E. Aune has actively been involved
and attended all these seminars. In November 2016 NTNU
had the pleasure to host the 21st seminar for 35 students
from the three universities NTNU, KTH and Aalto.
Each year we have between 7 and 10
master students
connected to the centre. These young students are doing a lot
of interesting research and are also a recruitment base both for PhD positions and for employment in the industry.
Final word from a student participating:
“This is a one in a lifetime experience,
preparing us for what is to come, for most of
us, very soon – the life of an engineer and the
challenges of the 21st century.”
October 18th Aud Wærnes gave a lecture
at
Materialdagen
where she presented the
centre. She talked about the different research
domains and what they focus on, the general
structure of the centre and it’s vision and goals
for the future years – and how much fun it is to
be a student within this area.
