Event Description
The symposium is the fourteenth in a series on combustion and related topics, held by the scientific communities from countries around the Mediterranean. The first Mediterranean Combustion Symposium was held in Antalya, Turkey, June 1999, the second took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, January 2002, the third in Marrakech, Morocco, June 2003, the fourth in Lisbon, Portugal, October 2005, the fifth in Monastir, Tunisia, September 2007, the sixth in Corsica, France, June 2009, the seventh in Chia Laguna, Cagliari, Italy, September 2011, the eighth in Cesme, Turkey, September 2013, the ninth in Rhodes, Greece, June 2015, the tenth in Napoli, Italy, September 2017, the eleventh in Tenerife, Spain, June 2019, the twelfth was held in Luxor, Egypt, January 2023, and the thirteenth in Corfu, Greece, June 2025.

The Mediterranean Combustion Symposium has grown in the years becoming an important conference in Combustion. The quality of many of the accepted papers is considered to be within the top published papers in most combustion journals. The objective of the conference is to give combustion scientists, particularly engineers and students from the Mediterranean area, the opportunity to get together for the dissemination of state-of-the-art advances in combustion research and to enhance future collaborative research activities between scientists from different geographic areas. All topics and all the scientific/technological approaches in the combustion field are pertinent to this Symposium.

The organizing committee and the colloquia co-chairs are composed of international experts in various disciplines of combustion.
The technical program will consist of invited lectures by eminent specialists from all over the world, oral presentation of the contributed papers, flash presentations, and posters of work-in-progress.

High-quality papers will be selected for post-conference publication in well-known combustion journals as was done for the previous symposia. We are pleased to announce that the Combustion Institute has offered another publication pathway in new CI Proceedings to be issued in odd-years.

The Symposium is structured so as to maximize contact and interactions and includes an interesting social program. Make sure to visit the official 14th Mediterranean Combustion Symposium website to stay up to date on all news and information.
