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.

In 2010, as a student at ENSCI (École Nationale Supérieure de Céramique Industrielle), I had the opportunity to join the FIRE program and spend six months at the Nagoya Institute of Technology, working on the fabrication and characterization of complex carbide refractories.
Highlight of FIRE Alumni - Alexandra Beaudrouet - European Cluster of Ceramics - France
From one network to another
I discovered the world of ceramics when I arrived at the ENSCI (the national engineering school for industrial ceramics) in Limoges, France, in 2004. I quickly became fascinated by refractory materials: these discreet but essential ceramics, without which many of the materials we use today simply could not exist.
