This is the last training session in AY 2019. Attendance at this training session is mandatory for all Kyoto University members who are planning to use liquid nitrogen or liquid helium but have not attended any training session in AY 2019. The users, who purchase cryogens outside of the university and have not attend any training session in AY 2019, are also welcome to attend this training session. All users of all campuses (Yoshida, Uji, Katsura, etc.) who have not attended any training session in AY 2019 are requested to attend this training session, because an autumn training session is held only at Katsura Campus.

We will also offer an online course. For further details, please see Online Course below. Those who take the online course do not have to attend the training session. Attendees of the training session and those who take the online course will be registered as cryogen users in AY 2019 with the Agency for Health, Safety and Environment’s Division for Low Temperature and Materials Sciences.
