Creating Opportunities for the Next Generation of Refractory Innovators - Chris Parr
As Chairman of FIRE - Federation for International Refractory Research & Education, I am often asked what led me to take on this role—and what keeps me driven every single day.
For me, the answer is simple: our industry’s future depends on young, world-class talent.
Highlight of FIRE Alumni - Mathilda Derensy - Institute of Mineral Resources Engineering, RWTH Aachen University - Germany
My interest in refractories began during my engineering studies in ceramics at ENSCI Limoges, when I discovered that the refractory specialisation offered an international research experience through the FIRE program. I quickly realised that refractories are far more complex and fascinating than simple bricks.
