The Combustion Institute (Irish Section)

The Combustion Institute is an educational non-profit, international, scientific society whose purpose is to promote and disseminate research in combustion science.

There are some 30 Sections of the Combustion Institute of which the Irish Section is one of the newest. Ireland is affiliated to the Federation of European Combustion Sections which organises the biennial European Combustion Meetings.

The main activity of the Combustion Institute is to organise and run the International Symposium on Combustion. These biennial symposia attract members of the Combustion Institute as well as others interested in combustion from around the world. The synergism produced at these symposia makes them the principal forum for presenting and integrating combustion research results.
