The membership is open to the refractory manufacturers (any company actively engaged in supplying raw materials, equipment and service), to their suppliers and to the refractory users (any company from the iron and steel, non-ferrous metal, glass, cement, chemical, power generation, environmental, petrochemical and ceramic industries).
In short, any company which shares interest in and supports the purpose of FIRE.

Funding is to come from three sources: 1/3 industry, ½ governmental agencies and 1/6 non-governmental organizations. The leverage for an industrial member is then 3 times the number of industrial partners there is, for each dollar invested.

My journey with FIRE began in 2003, together with Prof. Michel Rigaud and other academic and industrial colleagues. In 2005, our first official meeting in Limoges, France, transformed this vision into reality. From the beginning, FIRE was founded on a strong belief in cooperation between universities and industry towards a better education. Its strength has always come from working across institutional, cultural, and national borders.

In the refractory field, sustainability means not only developing materials for high-temperature applications, but also ensuring the sustainable processing of these materials.
