The Associazione Italiana di Calorimetria e Analisi Termica (AICAT) was
established in 1979 as a fully independent cultural and scientific
body. This choice turned out to be appropriate as testified by the
quick growth of the number of members AICAT (currently ca
150) as well as by activities (meetings, schools, seminars).
Interactions with ICTA and various National Groups became undoubtedly
easier.
In the late eighties AICAT started
collaborating more closely with the Italian Chemical Society (SCI),
that established a new Interdivisional Group (Gruppo Interdivisionale
di Calorimetria e Analisi Termica (GICAT)). GICAT caught the attention
of a few members of various SCI Divisions and soon grew up (ca 70
members). Quite a few AICAT members belong also to GICAT, though AICAT
still maintains its independence from SCI.
Such a “double-sided” condition, that was considered temporary at
that time, turned out to be very efficient as proved by 20 years of
excellent collaboration between and happy co-existence of the two
bodies working in the field of C&TA.
