The 16th Course of the International School of Solid State Physics was intended to break artificial barriers between disciplines, and to gather people dealing with the properties and applications of silicides, regardless of their fields or practical goals. The Course assembled investigators concerned with theory as well as applications, and involved not only in electronics but also in the use of silicides for thermoelectric devices, and in structural applications, for example in jet engines.
