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.

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.
