The International Symposium on Combustion is the main activity of The Combustion Institute. The biennial symposium attracts members of The Combustion Institute, as well as other researchers from around the world, interested in combustion. The synergism produced at this symposium has made it the principal forum for presenting and integrating combustion research results.
The Belgian section of the Combustion Institute organises, every two years, a national two-days meeting, called 'Journées d'Études'. The best paper, presented by a young researcher at that meeting, is selected by a scientific committee of experts in the field of combustion. The researcher wins the 'Adolphe Van Tiggelen Award'.
