ABOUT

The Mediterranean Combustion Symposium has become one of the primary regional conference series in combustion science and application. Combustion is a useful, beautiful, complex and interdisciplinary phenomenon, that has provided heat and power for ages and fascinated humans since the dawn of history. It now plays a prime role in decarbonisation of our energy system with the combustion of new low-carbon fuels, is important for wildfires and battery fires, and is a major research and development topic worldwide.

Follow MCS 2025 to learn about the combustion fundamentals, the new research tools that are being developed to probe flames and their behaviour, the applications to various sectors and how positive impact can be brought about and negative effects are mitigated. Special sessions on zero-carbon combustion and thermoacoustics are planned.​

The Symposium’s topics are broadly aligned with the Colloquia of the International Symposia on Combustion, organised by the Combustion Institute.
