Background and Scope

Since 1988, this series of conferences have been organised periodically by researchers of several European Regions (Baden-Würtenberg, Catalunya, Canton de Genève, Canton du Valais, Hainaut, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Rhône Alpes, Wales, Liguria, Lombardia, and Piemonte, Valle d’Aosta). The aims of the meeting will be to present and discuss the state of the art and opportunities in the field of ceramic materials and to stimulate contacts and collaborations mainly between young researchers. The Conference will consist of invited lectures, as well as oral and poster contributions. A single session format will allow detailed discussion of the relevant issues. In addition, a lively poster session will be encouraged, including a short oral introduction to each poster, aimed particularly at young researchers who may be attending their first International Conference. All of the manuscripts accepted for the conference will be published in the Conference Proceedings to be distributed to delegates at the meeting. Conference Dinner will link with a social programme including tours of interesting places around Barcelona. The official language of the Conference is English.

Topics

The conference will cover all aspects of processing, structural characterisation, properties and industrial applications of monolithic ceramics, ceramic matrix composites, and glass and ceramic coatings.
