Recently, the 16th International Ceramics Congress was held in Perugia, Italy. Academician Fu Zhengyi of the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing at Wuhan University of Technology was invited to attend the congress and deliver a plenary lecture.

At the meeting of the Executive Committee of the World Academy of Ceramics held alongside the congress, Academician Fu Zhengyi was elected Chair of the Steering Committee of the World Academy of Ceramics (headquartered in Italy). Earlier, in early June this year, he had been elected President of the International Ceramic Federation (headquartered in the United States).

In the plenary lecture session, Academician Fu Zhengyi spoke on the topic of “Extreme Condition Sintering for Ceramics.” Addressing challenges such as improving the performance of ceramic materials and reducing the energy consumption of their preparation, the lecture proposed a new strategy of extreme-condition sintering and presented the team’s latest research progress, offering new ideas for the global innovation of advanced ceramic processing technologies.

The International Ceramics Congress is co-organized by the World Academy of Ceramics, the International Ceramic Federation, and the International Union of Materials Research Societies. It brings together leading ceramic materials scientists, physicists, chemists, and experts in high-technology fields from around the world, covering a broad range of research directions from the molecular and nanoscale to large, complex integrated systems, and is a long-established and important academic event in the field of international ceramic materials.
