CACerS WORKSHOP – 02-Eng

General objective

The aim of this workshop is to strengthen the scientific, technical and collaborative capabilities of actors involved in the development and application of porous materials for water treatment, CO₂ capture and thermal insulation, with a perspective of environmental sustainability.

Expected outcomes

– Enhanced expertise in the development, characterisation and applications of porous ceramics;
– Ability to integrate concepts relating to water treatment, CO₂ capture and thermal insulation into research projects;
– Consolidation of sustainable scientific exchanges between partner institutions;
– Identification of opportunities for collaborative projects and industrial application.

Specific objectives

SO1: To strengthen participants’ scientific and technical capabilities regarding porous materials, their manufacturing processes and their applications in water treatment, CO₂ capture and thermal insulation

SO2: To promote the use of local resources and alternative materials with a view to sustainable development;

SO3: Promote exchanges, scientific cooperation and knowledge transfer between researchers, institutions and socio-economic actors;

SO4: Improve scientific output and the exploitation of research results through the writing, publication and development of collaborative projects.

General objective

The aim of this workshop is to acquire native expertise in iron metallurgy and silicate ceramics, with guidance provided by national and international specialists. Consequently, the aim is to propose scientific solutions for metallurgical processes and ceramic technology that are both efficient and sustainable.

Expected outcomes

At the end of this workshop, participants will receive theoretical and practical course materials from the trainers. In addition, they will be able to:

– Apply the knowledge acquired during this workshop;

– Reproduce and even commercialise the products developed during this workshop.

Specific objectives

SO1: Bring together stakeholders in the fields of metallurgy, ceramics and geomaterials, stimulate exchanges and deepen scientific and technological collaboration.

SO2: Enable young researchers, students and professionals working in fields involving the valorisation of minerals, local materials and secondary resources in ceramics and geomaterials to acquire the relevant knowledge and processing and characterisation techniques.

SO3: Implement concepts of quality, hygiene, safety and the environment inherent to the fields of metallic, ceramic and composite materials. A major challenge regarding environmental footprint, circularity and the responsible management of mineral resources.
