XIXth Conference of the European Ceramic Society
The XIXth Conference of the European Ceramic Society will take place from August 31 to September 4, 2025 at the International Congress Center in Dresden, Germany.
On behave of the European Ceramic Society ECerS, the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft DKG, and Fraunhofer Institute of Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the beautiful City of Dresden.
Planned every two years, the ECerS Conference focuses on cutting-edge research and product developments in a wide range of ceramic-related areas. The program provides an opportunity for scientists, researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from around the world to present and exchange their latest findings in ceramic science and technology.
The XIXth ECerS Conference is divided into 14 symposia covering all relevant aspects of ceramic science and technology. It specifically addresses the most important challenges of our society, such as sustainability, energy transition and closed cycle technologies. Moreover, the 100th annual meeting of DKG is fully integrated.

International Congress on Particle Technology 2025 (PARTEC)
PARTEC is one of the world’s major scientific congresses for particle and bulk solids technology. Every three years, it provides an international forum for R&D in new technologies. It runs concurrently with POWTECH, the leading trade fair for the mechanical processing, analysis and handling of powder and bulk solids.
The international congress for particle technology is organised by NürnbergMesse and is sponsored by the VDI Association of Process and Chemical Engineering (GVC). The event also receives support from numerous other associations and organisations.

Sintering 2026
The International Conference on Sintering is a world-wide forum dedicated to the science and technology of sintering, which is an essential step for the processing of ceramics and powder metallurgical parts.
This will be the tenth meeting in a series that started in 1995 as a continuation of a famous cycle of conferences on Sintering and Related Phenomena organized in the USA in the middle of the 20th century. The previous nine conferences have been held in Pennsylvania State University, USA (1995, 1999, 2003), Grenoble, France (2005), La Jolla, USA (2008), Jeju, Korea (2011), Dresden, Germany (2014), San Diego, USA (2017) and Gifu, Japan (2023).
The technical program will cover all aspects of sintering through invited and contributed talks, poster presentations. Students, researchers and faculty members as well as professionals from industry are cordially invited to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you in Aachen, the westernmost city in Germany bordering Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen is an international, vibrant city with Roman roots and once privileged residence of Emperor Charlemagne.
