Where is Colorado School of Mines?

Colorado School of Mines is located in Golden, Colorado. Golden is part of the Greater Denver Metropolitan Area and is situated immediately adjacent to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The School of Mines is a public research university devoted to engineering and applied science with focus on the Earth, energy, and the environment.

Hiking and biking trails abound in the area, and many other outdoor ac-tivities – from kayaking to mountain climbing – are available. Colorado is home to 13 national parks and mon-uments, including Rocky Mountain National Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, and 42 state parks. Additionally, the Golden

area is surrounded by thousands of acres of prairie and mountainous Open Space for hiking, observing wildlife, or just enjoying the solitude.

International School for Materials for Energy and

Sustainability IV(ISMES IV)

July 13 – 20, 2015Colorado School of Mines

Golden, Colorado USA

The School is an opportunity for students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world to meet with and learn from their peers and established experts in a friendly atmosphere — reaping benefit in terms of enthusiasm, knowledge, and new ideas and benefitting the future of mankind.

The School will present a broad perspective of the inter-re-lationships of energy, sustainability, and materials. It starts with a global perspective on both energy and materials. Both conventional and novel approaches to energy conversion and storage will be covered to present a balanced perspective allow-ing students to develop an informed view of how to develop a sustainable world.

The School is composed of a number of components:

• Lectures by world class experts in a broad set of areas from climate change to renewable energy to manufacturing.

• Individual student exercises to develop a broad knowledge of the energy and sustainability landscape

• Team exercises to where groups of international students tackle challenging scenarios about how to create sustain-able living environments.

What can you hope to get from the School?

• A broad perspective on energy, sustainability and related materials science

• More self awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing us all

• A chance to make new friends from around the world

• Participation in a larger network trying to solve some of the worlds hardest problems

• Great fun in beautiful Colorado
