Conferences and trade fairs

Both conferences share a long history as specialized symposia considering the topics of nitrocellulose (NC), its manufacturing, processing and characterization as well as the effects, the use, the interpretation and the modelling of heat flow of energetic materials.

With its geological hydrogen resources, the French region of Grand Est is becoming a strategic player in the energy transition. Its focus on white hydrogen contributes to decarbonization, making the region an essential part of the future European "hydrogen backbone." Grand Est aims to integrate its hydrogen strategy into strong, cross-border partnerships. The hydrogen industry supports the transition to a climate-neutral society. The H2Strasbourg association is the organizer of the European Hydrogen Summit "Hydrogène sans Frontières." It brings together public and private stakeholders as well as universities, and supports clean energy projects with the aim of firmly establishing white hydrogen in the Grand Est region. Fraunhofer ICT and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) are scientific partners of H2Strasbourg.

Visit us at this year's K - the leading trade show and business platform for the plastics and rubber industry - 8 to 15 October 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany. As it is open to new impulses and political discourse, the trade fair also provides space for the topics of circular economy, digitalization and climate protection. You can find Fraunhofer ICT at the joint booth of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in the Science Campus in Hall 7, Level 0, booth C05.

The 55th International Annual Conference of Fraunhofer ICT covers scientific and technological progress in the entire field of energetic materials and related disciplines. Initiated over 50 years ago, the conferences have gained worldwide importance, with hundreds of participants from over 30 nations attending every year.
