10th International Conference and Exhibition
of the European Ceramic Society

The world of ceramic materials is truly an inter- and multidisciplinary one. People working in fields such as automotive engineering, advanced energy technologies, electrical and electronic applications, metallurgy, materials science and materials engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering as well as solid and fracture mechanics have made important contributions to the development of ceramic materials. The understanding of the mechanical, thermal, chemical and functional properties of ceramic materials as controlled by their structure at nano-, micro- and macrolevels followed by chemical and physical interactions at interfaces / surfaces, presents an unlimited tool for their continuous development and optimization. We all realize that research in this field has been of utmost importance for human progress since the beginning of civilization and will, very likely, remain as important in the decades to come. The meeting of different cultures and approaches in Berlin will encourage the bridging of ceramic disciplines to promote ceramic innovation.
