The 10th International Combustion Institute-Winter School (10th CI-WS) is an event that is being organized by the Combustion Institute (CI), the Brazilian National Combustion Network (RNC) and the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering (ABCM). This event has become a cornerstone for advancing combustion research and fostering collaboration.
The School provides a unique opportunity for researchers and students in the combustion field to gather for an enriching educational experience. Designed to strengthen the global combustion research community, the program of the event offers an educational experience led by esteemed biofuels and biomass combustion experts.
Our primary goal is to equip graduate and undergraduate students from Latin America and worldwide with in-depth knowledge of combustion science and energy technologies. To encourage international collaboration, all sessions will be conducted in English. The School will feature lectures, masterclasses, poster sessions, technical visits and vibrant social activities, fostering a promising environment for learning, networking and exchanging ideas.
The International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems (ICDERS) has been held every two years since its founding in 1967 by N. Manson, A.K. Oppenheim, and R. Soloukhin. The colloquium has been the premier international forum for the presentation of scientific contributions in the fields of explosions and unsteady combustion, where there is strong coupling between reaction and fluid mechanics.
The 30th edition of ICDERS will be held from July 27-August 1, 2025 in Ottawa, Canada.
The training school is part of CYPHER COST Action and organized by the Chemical Kinetics Laboratory of ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. Participation in the training school may be financially supported for members of the CYPHER COST Action, but the event is open to anyone interested in attending. The school is hosted by the Hungarian Section of The Combustion Institute.
The trainers include highly renowned specialists in the field (Alison Tomlin,Leeds University, United Kingdom; Dimitris Goussis,Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi;Alessandro Stagni,POLIMI, Italy;Timoteo Dinelli,POLIMI, Italy; Tibor Nagy,HUN-REN RCNS, Hungary) and members of the ELTE Chemical Kinetics Laboratory (Tamás Turányi, Máté Papp, Éva Valkó, and András Gy. Szanthoffer).
The lectures will cover the following topics:
Reaction kinetics basics
Local sensitivity analysis
Uncertainty of combustion measurements, rate coefficients, Arrhenius parameters and thermodynamic data
Sources of combustion kinetics data
Conventional and automatic mechanism generation (AMG), use of machine learning in AMG and rate constant estimation
Validation of detailed combustion mechanisms
Global uncertainty analysis methods (screening methods; Monte Carlo methods and structured sampling approaches using Latin hypercube and low discrepancy sampling sampling; variance based sensitivity indices, HDMR, polynomial chaos methods)
Optimization of detailed combustion mechanisms, curve matching, surface matching optimization, skeletal reduction of reaction mechanisms; time scale analysis; methods based on time-scale separation (CSP, ILDM, ISAT, REDIM), fitted models, in-situ tabulation and species lumping.
During the practical sessions, the participants will use their laptops. The practical session will deal with computer codes GUI-HDMR (High Dimensional Model Representation); OpenSMOKE++; OptiSMOKE++; Optima++ (mechanism validation and optimization); and skeletal mechanism reduction methods DRG, DRGEP, PFA, GPS and SEM. The use of websites https://ReSpecTh.hu, https://combustiondata.elte.hu/, and https://k-evaluation.elte.hu/ will also be discussed. The participants are kindly requested to install these free codes on their laptops and to register for these websites before the training school.
Trainees are encouraged to present a poster, but it is not mandatory. The posters will be on display throughout the entire training school, and a dedicated poster session will take place on Tuesday afternoon.
Important Dates
Deadline for the application of COST CYPHER grant - 20 July
(An earlier application is better, because the number of grants is limited.)
The University of Minnesota will host the 4th SoAE in Minneapolis, MN. This conference will bring researchers from around the world together to discuss pertinent issues to the production, transport, storage, and use of green ammonia for energy applications. Particular attention will be paid to using ammonia as a fuel for stationary power and off-highway transportation applications like agriculture and mining, key global sectors with particular presence in Minnesota and surrounding U.S. states.
The Twentieth International Conference on Numerical Combustion (ICNC2025) will be held from 14-17 October 2025 in the City of Rome, Italy. The Conference will continue the tradition as a premier global forum that brings together leading combustion researchers worldwide employing cutting-edge mathematical and computational methods to tackle many challenging problems in conventional and renewable fuel utilization for power and transportation. From the inaugural event in Sophia Antipolis, France, in 1985 to the latest rendition in Kyoto, Japan in May 2024, the ICNC has attracted many researchers in the academia, government laboratories and industry, in venues alternating between Europe, North America, and Asia. The conference program consists of invited talks and parallel sessions of mini-symposia on focused subjects as well as general contributed presentations aligned with the conference topics. The social program will include a welcome reception, a social dinner, and a guided tour of Rome.

The main goal of the 3rd Asia-Pacific Combustion Institute Summer School is to introduce the combustion and fire safety community to fundamental combustion problems, focusing on studies of diffusion flames and their connection to large-scale fires. This year’s school will emphasize the link between combustion theory and practical applications in both industrial settings and real fire scenarios, contributing to create and strengthen the links between different academic institutions and research groups focused in the Asia Pacific and South American areas.
Considering the nature of fires and flames, it has been long recognized that there is a gap between fire science and other disciplines within combustion. Particularly, the number of uncontrolled factors associated with fires have rendered many of the well-established techniques in combustion difficult to be applied. Therefore, the scientific direction of the APCISS-3 school aims to discuss and provide means to bridge this gap through the study of diffusion flames.
The Summer School is scheduled for 2-7 November 2025 in the coastal cities of Valparaíso - Viña del Mar. Workshops will be held at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María.
