IAB-TAGE »BAUSTOFFE« 2026 Ziegel neu gedacht – Materialien. Prozesse. Zukunft.
Ziegel neu gedacht – Materialien. Prozesse. Zukunft.

Unter dem Leitmotiv „Ziegel neu gedacht – Materialien, Prozesse, Zukunft“ rücken die IAB-TAGE Baustoffe 2026 aktuelle Entwicklungen und künftige Anforderungen der Ziegelindustrie in den Fokus. Energieeffizienz, Dekarbonisierung und der verantwortungsvolle Umgang mit endlichen Ressourcen bestimmen die technologische Agenda der kommenden Jahre.

Das Fachforum bietet eine kompakte Übersicht über zentrale Innovationsfelder entlang der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette: Von CO₂-reduzierten Produktionsstrategien über optimierte thermische Prozesse und datenbasierte Effizienzansätze bis hin zu Herausforderungen der Rohstoffentwicklung und bauphysikalischen Anforderungen. Impulse aus Industrie und Forschung zeigen aktuelle Entwicklungen, praxisnahe Lösungswege und neue Ansätze für eine nachhaltige Zukunft der Ziegelproduktion.

Die Tagung endet mit einer Führung durch die Labore und Versuchshallen des IAB, begleitet von einer Live-Demonstration aktueller Forschungsarbeiten zum industriellen Recycling von Baustoffen wie Ziegeln. Wir laden Sie herzlich ein, Impulse mitzunehmen, zu diskutieren und gemeinsam die Zukunft der Ziegelproduktion neu zu denken.

Dresden Battery Days 2026
Solid state batteries – ante portas or still a vision?

Solid electrolyte batteries are considered potential candidates that can overcome the disadvantages of conventional lithium-ion batteries in terms of safety and energy density. Significant progress has been made through research and development in recent years, and there have been numerous announcements from companies that want to start producing and using solid electrolyte batteries.

Ceramic AM Summit
Dear Ceramic AM enthusiasts,

We are delighted to invite you to the 2nd Ceramic AM Summit in Freiburg, an open forum for companies, research institutions, and innovators to explore the latest advancements in additive manufacturing and ceramic technologies.

This event welcomes presentations from all sectors of industry and academia. We encourage you to share your insights, research, and experiences through talks that will contribute to the diverse program. Your participation is key to making this event a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange.

In addition to the presentations, we will host breakout rooms for focused workshops, where participants can explore specific topics, discuss challenges, or explore potential collaborations. These workshops will provide a great opportunity for networking and idea-sharing in a more intimate setting.

We look forward to your contribution and hope you will join us for what promises to be an inspiring and dynamic event.

Look forward to seeing you in Freiburg,
The Ceramic AM Summit Organizing Committee

Sintering 2026
The International Conference on Sintering is a world-wide forum dedicated to the science and technology of sintering, which is an essential step for the processing of ceramics and powder metallurgical parts.

This will be the tenth meeting in a series that started in 1995 as a continuation of a famous cycle of conferences on Sintering and Related Phenomena organized in the USA in the middle of the 20th century. The previous nine conferences have been held in Pennsylvania State University, USA (1995, 1999, 2003), Grenoble, France (2005), La Jolla, USA (2008), Jeju, Korea (2011), Dresden, Germany (2014), San Diego, USA (2017) and Gifu, Japan (2023).

The technical program will cover all aspects of sintering through invited and contributed talks, poster presentations. Students, researchers and faculty members as well as professionals from industry are cordially invited to attend.

We look forward to welcoming you in Aachen, the westernmost city in Germany bordering Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen is an international, vibrant city with Roman roots and once privileged residence of Emperor Charlemagne.
