The Combustion Institute is an international, non-profit, educational and scientific society. Founded in 1954, CI promotes and disseminates research activities in all areas of combustion science and technology for the advancement of many diverse communities around the world. The International Symposium on Combustion is its world congress and major biennial meeting.
The Combustion Institute directs the publication of two scientific journals, Combustion and Flame, published monthly and the Proceedings of The Combustion Institute, published biennially.
The 40 Under 40: E-Lecture Series on Combustion is hosted by the Belgian Section of The Combustion Institute, with the goal of highlighting 40 young scientists and engineers who have done high-quality research in combustion. These 50-minute sessions are held virtually via Zoom, presenting a val...
After the successful first workshop in Eindhoven in 2022, the second installment will take place in Darmstadt in 2024 jointly organized by TU/e and Clean Circles. The scope of the workshop remains: the promotion of metal fuels in a circular energy economy. The abundance of renewable energy source...

The 40th International Symposium – Emphasizing Energy Transition convened in Milan, Italy from Sunday, 21 July through Friday, 26 July 2024. We hope all attendees had a great experience, and we thank everyone involved in making the event a success! Now, we look forward to the 41st International Symposium on Combustion, which will be held in Kyoto, Japan from 26-31 July 2026!
Our 36 sections are based in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas, with a total membership that exceeds 6,000 combustion scientists and engineers. The CI directs the publication of two scientific journals (Combustion and Flame and Proceedings of the Combustion Institute) and oversees the organization of technical meetings around the world, including the biennial International Symposium on Combustion... The field of combustion is interdisciplinary in nature. It attracts brilliant scientists and engineers from a wide spectrum of training and expertise to address real-world problems. Through research and training, young scientists and engineers develop diverse skills which they can apply broadly to energy and propulsion problems, leading to rewarding careers in academia, industry and beyond.
