Today the 11th International Conference on Ceramic Materials and Components for Energy and Environmental Applications (11th CMCEE) in Vancouver, Canada comes to a close.
“It’s been a stimulating meeting with high-quality talks by top researchers from more than 45 countries,” says meeting organizer Mrityunjay Singh. The talks generated lots of discussion in the hallways and between sessions, as the images below show.
Conference organizers held several Global Graduate Researcher Network program activities to help the new generation of researchers start building their networks and establishing themselves in the field. Besides a Monday evening reception, the GGRN recognized the top five student posters with “best poster” awards at the banquet on Thursday.
At Thursday’s banquet, Singh announced that the 12th CMCEE will be in 2018 in Singapore. Until then, enjoy these final images from the 11th CMCEE!
