YCN Newsletter 18 - Report on the 2023 Lyon ECerS Career Fair by Sylvain Meille

On Monday July 3, 2023, the first ECerS Career Fair was held in Lyon as part of the XVIIIth ECerS Conference and Exhibition.

          

The aim of this event, sponsored by Saint-Gobain, was not only to display job vacancies in companies working in the ceramics field, but also to facilitate contacts between doctoral students and post-docs working in ceramics and companies in the sector. This has several positive benefits:

  • it strengthens the ceramics sector in Europe, both for industry and for universities;
  • the majority of doctoral students go on to work in the private sector after their thesis, a sector which offers a wide variety of careers.

After presentations by Saint Gobain and YCN, all participants (representatives of over 10 companies, over 150 doctoral students) gathered for a buffet. This networking event was a real success, and we'd like to thank everyone involved in its organization (congress organizers, including the PCO, Saint Gobain, YCN, and the companies who agreed to take part).

We hope this career fair will be the first of many in future ECerS events.

For the organization,

Sylvain Meille

Turning Waste into Raw Materials for the Ceramic Industry.

Waste materials were once seen as a burden but are increasingly being redefined as valuable resources for ceramic production. Through advances in materials engineering, waste can be used as secondary raw materials in the ceramic industry. This shift enables more circular and resource-efficient ceramic manufacturing systems.

Implementing 3D-Printed Technical Ceramics in Regulated Medical Fields.

Bringing a new manufacturing technology into medicine requires far more than producing an impressive component. In highly regulated fields, innovation must be translated into repeatable processes, documented quality, reliable materials and, ultimately, evidence of clinical value. Lithoz has spent more than a decade building this bridge for Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM).
