Federation for International Refractory Research and Education
ATHOR
ATHOR was project financed under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action European Training network – Innovative Training Network (ETN ITN).
Refractories are heat-resistant materials used as inner linings of high temperature furnaces, reactors and processing units. ATHOR Advanced THermomechanical multiscale mOdelling of Refractory linings was an innovative, collaborative and interdisciplinary project that briought together 7 academic beneficiaries and 8 private partners.
The ATHOR network was deeply committed to provide a combination of research and training activities which will support and enlarge the initiative of the Federation for International Refractory Research and Education (FIRE).

My interest in refractories began during my engineering studies in ceramics at ENSCI Limoges, when I discovered that the refractory specialisation offered an international research experience through the FIRE program. I quickly realised that refractories are far more complex and fascinating than simple bricks.
Imerys & FIRE: Driving Innovation in Refractories Through Global Collaboration
I had the immense pleasure of being invited to talk about cooperative refractory research and education during the plenary session of the 20th China National Youth Academic Symposium on Refractories last May. The event took place in Yangzhou, China, and served as a perfect platform to promote the key mission of the Federation of International Refractory Research and Education (FIRE).
