IRP and European projects

In addition to its national roots, IRCER has numerous international collaborations, notably through European projects such as:

• the European project Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) AMITIE (Additive Manufacturing Initiative for Transnational Innovation in Europe (coordinator)
• Concerted European action on Sustainable Applications of REFractories (CESAREF) (coordinator)
• the European project InVeCOF program on fiber-reinforced ceramics and O-CMC components
• the European project ASTRABAT program for sustainable electric mobility
• the joint European H2020 program EURAD 2 for radioactive waste management
• the M-ERA.NET NewILUMIS program (multi-purpose platform for light and detection)
• the European Defence Fund (EDF) program: LAser CEramics (LACE)

The Institut de Recherche sur les Céramiques (IRCER) is coordinator of an International Research Project CNRS (IRP) FRESH (Functional inoRganic matErials for global Societal cHallenges) with the Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan (2019-2023). It is also a partner in an IRP coordinated by the Institut de Science des Matériaux de Mulhouse (IS2M) IRP BRESIL 2021-2025: “B3lab: Biointerfaces, Biominerals, Biomaterials” with the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (CBPF, Rio de Janeiro).

IRCER is also a member of the Europe Makes Ceramics (co-founder) network of European academic players in the field of ceramic additive technologies, and of the FIRE (Refractories) global network.
