Federation for International Refractory Research and Education
Event
12/26 - Refractories for Aerospace - Online
17th December 2026 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM (UK time) - Organized by LUCIDEON
Course description
Engineering ceramics play a critical role in some of the world's most demanding applications, where extreme temperatures, aggressive environments, and exceptional performance requirements exceed the capabilities of conventional materials. From thermal protection systems on re-entry spacecraft to missile nose cones, heat shields, turbochargers, and catalytic converters, advanced ceramics enable technologies that operate under the most challenging conditions.

2026 FIRE Student Photo Competition dedicated to high-temperature resistant materials
If you are a student or recent graduate (up to 5 years after graduation), we invite you to submit a photo showing a material being able to withstand the power of FIRE. Both refractory and another high temperature resistant material qualify. Whether it is from a lab or industrial environment, we would love to see what amazes you.
Highlight of the members of the Board of Directors - Victor Carlos Pandolfelli
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.
