Your ceramics research in Europe; can we help?

Funding for Ceramics Research and Education

In its allocation of the Trust’s resources, the Trust Council aims :

  • To enable the European Ceramic Societies to engage in a broad range of activities for the benefit of its membership.
  • To strengthen research and teaching in Europe within the subject of ceramics.
  • To maintain and build on the current strong position of the Journals.
