27 June - 1 July 2027, Valencia, Spain; Website: www.ecers2027.org

The Organizing Committee is delighted to welcome you to the 20th Conference and Exhibition of the European Ceramic Society (ECerS XX 2027) in Valencia, Spain, bringing together researchers, scientists, engineers, and industry professionals from around the world to share the latest advances in ceramic materials and technology.

Building on the success of ECerS 2025 in Dresden, which demonstrated the strength and vitality of our ceramics community, ECerS 2027 will further promote collaboration, innovation and exchange of cutting-edge knowledge between academia and industry. The program has been carefully designed to include high-quality scientific sessions, keynote lectures from distinguished speakers, and opportunities for meaningful interaction among participants from around the world. We are confident that this event will serve as a catalyst for new ideas, interdisciplinary collaboration and advances in ceramic science and engineering.

The ECerS Conference will cover a wide range of topics, including advanced technical innovations, sustainability and artistic techniques. We encourage you to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation within one of the topical symposia listed below (Abstract submission closes on 15 December 2026).
