Projects

An important role of IACT is to encourage collaboration among thermodynamicists through joint research projects. Proposals for projects in any area of Thermodynamics may be solicited at the business meeting of IACT at Biennial Conferences, or submitted at any time to any Director, for consideration by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors may provide financial support to projects which they approve. The funds will be administered by the institution in which one of the proposers of the project works.

The Board of Directors will recommend highly-approved proposals for projects to international bodies such as IUPAC and CODATA, for their support.
