Started at the beginning of '70s to provide a meeting point among ceramic scientists, researchers, technicians and experts of the two blocks that constituted the geopolitical assembly in those years, the CIMTEC series of international meetings grew in importance along the years also spreading its field of interests to the whole area of materials and related technologies.
Today it constitutes one of the leading international meeting points to discuss and update findings both on upgrading of traditional materials technologies and especially to present latest advances and main achievements in the several areas of new materials and innovative technologies.
Presently, CIMTEC congresses are held every two years and include the "International Ceramics Congress" consisting of many sections devoted to classical and advanced ceramics, and the "Forum on New Materials" which includes a number of parallel international conferences devoted to specific areas of main relevance for research on materials and for their implementation in innovative technologies for metals, ceramics, glazes, polymers and their combinations and composites.
In the frame of main events, special events are also organized on specific topics of interest to materials scientists and technologists.
