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 ressources, 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: Journal of ECerS and Open Ceramics

The main focus in the expenditure of Trust money is towards student/young researcher activities, but not exclusively so.
