Students of the #EURECMasters solar thermal specialization semester 2022 worked as a team to assemble the SunChef Pro solar oven. This large solar oven is distributed by Solar Brother French company for collective cooking, such as at the restaurant Le Présage in Marseille. Watch this video to learn more about this system.

Class 2022 of the #EURECMasters Solar Thermal & Associated Renewable Storage specialization semester had the opportunity to benefit from the solar thermal labs platform of Perpignan University at PROMES-CNRS laboratory. They characterized the performance of flat plate and evacuated tube low temperature collectors (FPC and ETC).

Back on cross-country skis, this time with our STARS class 2022. Skiing, shooting and racing for two hours, instructed by a young champion of the French biathlon team, Aristide Bègue! And a well deserved drink and snack afterwards 😉

Class 2021 started on Feb 15 and they are already hard at work. First practical work sessions this week. Back to fundamentals with the heat transfer reminder labs.

Thanks to bars and restaurants reopening on June 2 in France, the traditional farewell party of the Solar Thermal & Associated Storage Master specialization class 2020 took place at Le Dahu pub in Font-Romeu. Bye bye folks! See you in Brussels for the presentation days in December.
