Education Program

We are pleased to inform the community that FIRE is media partner of the 2026 ICR Conference that will take place on 16th and 17th September in Aachen, 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.
