More activities

Poster sessions

Poster sessions take place together with the coffee breaks, right after the course lectures, and last about 60 minutes each. The goal is to promote networking and let each presenter interact with as many participants as possible. About 100 posters are expected in total.

Event e-book

The material prepared by the instructors and all posters will be compiled into an e-book. It and the lecture slides will be available to participants during the event and to the community, after the event, on the RNC website.

Academia and industry interaction

  • Keynote Lecture 01 on combustion modelling in the oil and gas industry
  • Exhibitors in the main hall, at the coffee breaks and in the poster area
  • Technical visits to UFRGS research laboratories: Combustion, Detonations and Explosions, Fire Dynamics and Thermal Radiation

ABCM, RNC and WiC meetings

  • ABCM: meeting of the combustion scientific committee of the Brazilian Association of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering.
  • RNC: ordinary plenary meeting, where its scientific committee is renewed.
  • WiC: Women in Combustion, a meeting for participants to get to know each other and share professional experiences.
