Since the creation of the GDR Thermoelectricity in 2007, to which the GIS Thermoelectricity succeeded, 5 CNRS thematic schools have been organized, in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2019 and 2023. These schools were primarily aimed at young researchers (doctoral and post-doctoral students) wishing to acquire a solid base of knowledge on the theme of energy conversion by thermoelectric effects, while allowing researchers in the field to deepen their knowledge on the subject.
