International Colloquium on Refractories (ICR®)
by Dagmar Dieterle
This year's International Refractory Colloquium (ICR®), which was held in Aachen in the past years, will take place on September 16/17, 2020 entirely in a virtual setting. The concept offers researchers and industry experts of the refractory industry a virtual industry exhibition and numerous networking opportunities as well as a virtual scientific congress with more than 40 expert lectures.
The virtual ICR® Live Keynotes, the presentation of the Gustav-Eirich Award and a web-based tool "meet@ICR2020" will contribute to a "live" feeling. An interesting feature is the "meet@ICR2020" option for arranging personal meetings between participants and exhibitors. Industry presentations in a special session will complement the scientific congress, which will be held in seven virtual sessions.
- The congress will be held in English.
- Registration at https://www.ic-refractories.eu/registration-participant/
