Combustion Training Day
As part of the side activities of the 5th Symposium on Ammonia Energy (SoAE 2026), we are pleased to offer a Combustion Training Day, designed exclusively for registered SoAE participants.
This one-day training will take place on September 26th, 2026, at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, located in Chile’s Valparaíso Region. It provides a unique opportunity for students, professionals, and early-career researchers to deepen their knowledge of ammonia combustion through a combination of lectures, practical insights, and laboratory experience.
Fees
Regular student fee: USD 130
General Professional Fee: USD 230
The fee includes:
- Full-day training
- Round-trip transportation (Santiago–Valparaíso–Santiago)
- Coffee breaks and lunch
Audience
The program aims to strengthen both fundamental understanding and applied skills in this rapidly evolving field. It is tailored for final-year undergraduate, master’s, doctoral, and postdoctoral students, as well as for professionals with a background in sciences who are interested in the subject.
Topics
- Fundamentals of ammonia combustion
- Laboratory practices and infrastructure use (including lab tour)
- Numerical modelling and simulations
