UNITECR is a biennial international conference that is conducted by one of its four “Founding Member Organizations” in odd-number years. The official oversight body is the UNITECR International Executive Board (IEB), composed of representatives of the founding member organizations and certain individuals, who are elected to the IEB as Distinguished Life Members. IEB is governed under bylaws established by its members.

The objective of the UNITECR IEB is to organize the biennial UNITECR and any other meetings with a view to maintain and develop its activities and generally to contribute to the progress and exchange of industrial knowledge and technologies concerning refractories.
