The Hellenic Society of Thermal Analysis (H.S.T.A.) was founded in 1994 by a group of Greek scientists active in the field of thermal analysis and related techniques. The purpose of this asscoiation is to highlight the scientific work of Greek researchers involved in the field of Calorimetry, to seek collaborations with other scientists abroad and to develop and improve thermal analysis techniques. Through meetings, participation in conferences and publications of scientific papers in relevant journals, we believe that the opportunity is given for a more substantial and constructive contribution of Greek scientists in the area of ​​Thermal Analysis.

After the completion of the formalities and the formation of its first board of directors, H.S.T.A. was accepted as an equal member of the International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (I.C.T.A.C) which has over 6,000 members.

Based on the above, it becomes clear that the activities of HSTA aim not only to promote relevant research in Academic Institutions and Research Centers of Greece, but also to improve the quality of industrial products. This is made possible by providing consulting work to the Greek industry regarding the introduction of the corresponding thermal analysis technology, as required by the competitive international environment.
