The U.S. National Combustion Meeting has been organized biennially since 1999 by the joint U.S. Sections of The Combustion Institute (the Western States Section or WSSCI, the Eastern States Section or ESSCI, and the Central States Section or CSSCI). The 14th U.S. National Combustion Meeting (USNCM) will be held at The Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts, with the ESSCI serving as hosts. We expect many students, scientists, and engineers to attend this meeting, representing the leading edge of combustion research in the United States.
