According to a beautiful tradition, every four years The Conference on Science and Engineering of Oxide Materials – CONSILOX is organized.

Taking into account that the first edition of CONSILOX Conference was organized at Braşov in 1972, at the initiative and under direct organization of Prof.dr. Ion Teoreanu supported by Prof. dr. Petru Baltă, this is one of the oldest technical-scientific event from Romania. Always CONSILOX Conference was the place to be for scientists, students and industrialists willing to have a direct access to novelty in the field of oxide materials and promoting the cooperation between academic and economic media.

Starting with the 10^th edition, held in Timişoara (2008), CONSILOX has became an international conference.

Scientific event of high prestige CONSILOX -12 will be hosted by the International Hotel from Sinaia, in the period 16 - 20.09.2016, the place where will meet specialists from university education, centers of research-development-innovation and from production of oxide materials from Romania and from countries with tradition in this range.

General theme of the 12^th CONSILOX is “Science of oxide materials in service of durable development”.

Within this general thematic traditional topics of the Conference will be focused on:

 Fundamentals of science and engineering of oxide materials (physical-chemistry, mechanisms, processes and operations, modelling of properties);

 Inorganic binders;

 Glass and vitreous-ceramics;

 Traditional and advanced functional and structural ceramics;

 Refractory and thermal insulating materials;

 Concretes, dry mortars, adhesives for ceramic, and others;

 Bio and nano-materials, nano-technologies;

 Environment protection in oxide materials industry (including strategies and public politics; assessment of life cycle).

CONSILOX will have plenary sessions and posters presentation.

In the frame of the Conference will be organized the thematic workshop “Application of the concept of circular economy in oxide materials industry. Co-incineration of wastes in cement industry. Performing of the Program “Zero wastes for Europe”.

Also an exhibition will be organized, where sponsors and interested companies may present their own stands with products, research equipment and related information
