ACerS events are organized by dedicated volunteers and professionals from around the world who are passionate about advancing ceramics and materials science. With strong international representation among attendees, speakers, and contributors, global engagement is essential to the success of our meetings.

We recognize that international travel may raise questions or require additional planning. Your experience matters. That’s why we strive to provide clear, helpful information and foster a welcoming environment for all attendees, no matter where you’re coming from.
