19th International French-Polish Conference on Solid Reactivity
from April 22, 2026 to April 24, 2026
Initiated in the 1950s by the Laboratoire Interdisciplinaire Carnot de Bourgogne (ICB, UMR 6303 CNRS, University of Bourgogne Europe) and the AGH Faculty from Krakow, this seminar alternates between Poland and France. Over the years, additional partners have joined the founders, and this year, the event is organized by LaBoMaP at ENSAM, Cluny Campus, located inside the prestigious Abbey of Cluny, from April 22 to April 24, 2026.
The 19th International French-Polish Conference on Reactivity of Solids explores the mechanisms and applications of corrosion, sintering, and metallurgical transformations. By examining both theoretical models and empirical data, it bridges the gap between surface chemistry and solid-state physics, highlighting how microstructural evolution governs reactivity under diverse environmental and industrial conditions.
Topics include
- Oxidative degradation of metals
- Solid-state diffusion during sintering
- Phase transformations critical to alloy development
Contributions from leading experts offer insights into kinetic models, thermodynamic stability, and material performance under thermal and mechanical stress. Intended for researchers, engineers, and materials scientists, the conference underscores the pivotal role of solid reactivity in shaping modern technologies—from aerospace engineering to sustainable energy systems.
