Federation for International Refractory Research and Education
Goals
In an era of globalization, the refractory industry requires a well educated workforce with a worldwide technical knowledge to remain competitive in the long term. In addition, a current commitment to fundamental refractory research programmes is imperative to provide future innovative solutions and technological developments for the refractory consumer.
Networking the refractory expertise from the global refractory community will not only provide access to both expensive analytical equipment but also the broad knowledge base required in this dynamic arena. Furthermore, FIRE will also provide the opportunity to raise the profile of refractory science and engineering in the academic community and the critical role of refractories in the manufacturing of iron and steel, none-ferrous metals, glass, cement, chemical, power, environmental, petrochemical and ceramic industries.

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.

As the world navigates climate and energy transitions, strong partnerships between industry and academia are more important than ever. In the refractory field, sustainability means not only developing materials for high-temperature applications, but also ensuring the sustainable processing of these materials.
