Technical program

The CALL FOR PAPERS and the abstract submission is closed, deadline was the 15th December 2022.

The Scientific Committee develops now the technical program for the conference from over 330 submissions.

Once your abstract has been accepted, you will be asked to submit a paper (detailed manuscript) or a poster by 30th June 2023 at the latest.

Please note that the acceptance of your paper does not include your congress registration. At least one author is therefore  kindly asked to register for the congress. It is indispensable and linked to the publication of the manuscript in the conference proceedings.

The technical program will be published in spring 2023. You can look forward to exciting topics we have selected for you together with the scientific committee. We expect the latest findings on our motto “The Carbon Challenge” – and we look forward to all the steps and leaps to master the future.

UNITECR is the most important global platform for presenting and discussing the latest scientific and technical developments in the refractory world. It ‘s also a great opportunity to meet industry peers and keep up to date with challenges and new solutions in dynamic times for the industry.
