Journal of ECerS Trust
Funding for Ceramics Research and Education.
The JECS Trust was formally set up in December 2007 to oversee the expenditure of funds passed on to the European Ceramic Society (ECerS) by the Society’s Journal and by its publisher, Elsevier. 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 Journal.
