The 5th Congress of the Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass (SECV) will take place from 5 to 7 October 2016 in Seville. The motto chosen for this edition is “Ceramics and glass: tradition, modernity and challenges for the future”.
The event will serve as a meeting point for researchers and professionals in the ceramics industry to present the latest scientific and technological advances applied to this field, as well as to address future challenges and problems specific to this sector.
During these days, a series of renowned specialists from various European universities and research centres will give plenary lectures, and various parallel activities will be held, such as poster sessions and a round table on “R&D&I in ceramics and glass in Spain”. The programme also includes the Scientific and Technical Photography Contest for Ceramics and Glass, as well as the Student Contest, whose winner will represent Spain at the Student Speech Contest of the European Ceramics Society Congress (ECERS 2017), to be held in Istanbul in 2017.
