The Combustion Institute, founded in 1954, is an international non-profit, scientific and engineering society whose sole purpose is to promote research in the field of combustion science. This is done through the dissemination of research findings at regional and national meetings, the biennial international symposia, through the publication of the symposium proceedings and the Institute's journal, Combustion and Flame. The Institute serves as the parent organization to national sections organized in many countries, numbering 29 as of 2004.
The Greek Section was founded in Athens in 1996. It currently has about 50 full, active members from all over Greece as well as from abroad. Its major aim is to provide a forum for knowledge transfer in the field of combustion and related scientific and technological disciplines among academic researchers, graduate students and combustion professionals and thus, to ultimately, promote combustion research in Greece. This is accomplished mainly through the organization of national meetings held on a regular basis.
