EuroSchool
ECMetAC is organizing on an annual basis the ECMetAC European School in Materials Science. Started in 2006 within the CMA network of excellence, the aim of the Euroschool is to provide a lecture-style background to young scientists, Phd students and graduate students in the field of crystallography, chemistry, material science or solid state physic, in particular the physics of metals and metallurgy. Lectures are given by experts coming from academia, research and industry. They provide lecture on a step by step basis, with tutorial organized so as to practice the notion learned. The targeted audience includes PhD students, young or experienced scientists working in the field of crystallography, chemistry, material science or solid state physic, etc...The list of the EuroSchools is given below, along with the specific field taught. The last EuroSchool 2019 was organised jointly with the 4th International School on aperiodic crystals in Portbail, France.

Euroschool 2022
- Kutna Hora
The next Euroschool 2022 will be joint with the 5th International School on Aperiodic Crystals. It is being organized over 5 days in Kutna Hora, a historical town located 80 km east of Prague. Experts in the field of aperiodic crystals will give lectures and organize tutorials on a step by step basis different classes of aperiodic crystals. Various examples will then be presented, together with overviews on phase transitions, phonon and phasons, simulations and aperiodic crystal stability. The target audience of the event is Ph.D students, doctorate fellows, and people new to the field of material science and physics. For more information please visit the website.

Cancelled- Euroschool 2020 "Intermetallic Compounds - Advanced Synthesis and Characterisation"
- Chemnitz
From the 10th to the 16th of May 2020, the ECMetAC EuroSchool "Intermetallic Compounds - Advanced Synthesis and Characterisation" will take place at Technical University of Chemnitz, Germany. Intermetallic compounds have shown huge potential in different fields in the recent years, e.g. heterogeneous catalysis. The EuroSchool gathers experts in the field of synthesis and characteriza-tion of intermetallic compounds to provide participants a thorough understanding of these fields, serving as foundation for own research related to intermetallic compounds.

EuroSchool 2012 in Dresden
- Dresden
The EuroSchool addressed the timely topic of intermetallic compounds in catalysis. Intermetallic compounds play a major role on conventionally supported heterogeneous catalysts by being formed under reducing pre-treatment conditions or during reaction. In addition, they can form the basis for a knowledge-based approach in catalysis, enabling fast development and innovation.
