We believe in our duty to share knowledge through weekly seminars, regularly workshops and other events. on this page you'll find events organized in the past. If you're interested in upcoming events visit the Events page. Our weekly seminars at DIFFER cover a wide range of topics and are open to everybody. Please, read more on our dedicated Seminars page. You can find specific information for external visitors and subscribe to our seminar mailinglist on this page.

Buildings use 40% of all our energy. Most of this energy (nearly 70% for non-residential) is used for building systems with the goal of providing comfort for the building occupants. There exists a mismatch between simulation defined energy use ranges, and recent findings suggest that the human and its behaviour should be included.

The extensive studies of MHD instabilities in thermonuclear magnetic confinement experiments, in particular of the tokamak as the most promising candidate for a future energy producing machine, have led to an ‘intuitive’ description based on the energy principle that is very misleading for most astrophysical plasmas.

In this seminar I will share my view on how the energy system might evolve: What is easy? What is difficult; What do we need to do or decide today? What can wait? All of this is ambiguous and widely differing views can sometimes result from subtly different assumptions about environment, technology and society.

Magnetic helicity, a measure for the linking and knotting of magnetic field lines, is a conserved quantity in Ideal MHD. In the presence of resistivity, helicity constrains the rate at which magnetic energy can be dissipated.
