Federation for International Refractory Research and Education
ATHOR
ATHOR was project financed under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action European Training network – Innovative Training Network (ETN ITN).
Refractories are heat-resistant materials used as inner linings of high temperature furnaces, reactors and processing units. ATHOR Advanced THermomechanical multiscale mOdelling of Refractory linings was an innovative, collaborative and interdisciplinary project that briought together 7 academic beneficiaries and 8 private partners.
The ATHOR network was deeply committed to provide a combination of research and training activities which will support and enlarge the initiative of the Federation for International Refractory Research and Education (FIRE).

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.
