| Scope |
Organized by two world-leading ceramic societies, The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and The European Ceramic Society (ECerS), this transatlantic joint symposium addresses the wide-ranging emerging ceramic technologies that are critically needed for sustainable societal developments. Recently, a wide variety of ground-breaking research developments have taken place in the field of ceramics, leading to new functionalities, new processes and enhanced performance. These innovative technologies will lead to increased and wider ranging applications in diverse fields such as energy production and storage, the environment, aerospace, medicine, communications, infrastructure, transport and many others. This Symposium, which will consist mainly of invited presentations, will ask a diverse range of experts from academia and industries all over the world to present the latest progress and discuss key issues, challenges and opportunities. The aim is to engage the worldwide ceramic community in a collective effort to ensure positive and sustainable improvements to our living standards and our planet.
Proposed Topics:
* Humanitarian advances, new strategies and technologies for sustainable societal developments
