UNITECR 2025, the 19th Unified International Technical Conference on Refractories, announced a call for papers for next year’s event, inviting experts, researchers, and professionals from across the refractories industry to present their ground-breaking work.

Next year’s UNITECR is being hosted by ALAFAR (Latin American Association of Refractories Manufacturers) and takes place 27-30 October 2025 in Cancun, Mexico. Deadline for abstracts is December 20.

“Please become part of our roster for 2025 and take this fantastic opportunity to boost the knowledge base from within your own particular discipline,” said UNITECR 2025 President Mauro Cueva. “There will be a dynamic, receptive audience in Cancun, eager to listen, to learn, and to network.”

A wide-ranging program is planned, addressing topic areas such as raw materials (including recycled), monolithics, the application of refractories across a number of key industries, modeling, digitalization, AI/ML, basic science, education, standards and technology transfer.

The deadline for abstracts is December 20, 2024.
