Highlight of FIRE Alumni - Mariana de Albuquerque L. Braulio - Brasil
FIRE internship was my first experience abroad.
It brought me the opportunity to understand how University (Orleans) and industry (Tata Steel) operate in Europe, expanding not only my knowledge on refractories but also my global network. Consequently, I had the chance to found my own consulting company, being initially supported by research projects in partnership with important FIRE members, such as Imerys and Elkem. I may also recognize that Federal University of São Carlos played a key role on opening the doors and promoting my development on the refractory area. It is certainly a win-win environment, that improves the overall quality of the refractory market.

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.
Imerys & FIRE: Driving Innovation in Refractories Through Global Collaboration
I had the immense pleasure of being invited to talk about cooperative refractory research and education during the plenary session of the 20th China National Youth Academic Symposium on Refractories last May. The event took place in Yangzhou, China, and served as a perfect platform to promote the key mission of the Federation of International Refractory Research and Education (FIRE).
