The International Conference on Sintering is a world-wide forum dedicated to the science and technology of sintering, which is an essential step for the processing of ceramics and powder metallurgical parts.
This will be the tenth meeting in a series that started in 1995 as a continuation of a famous cycle of conferences on Sintering and Related Phenomena organized in the USA in the middle of the 20th century. The previous nine conferences have been held in Pennsylvania State University, USA (1995, 1999, 2003), Grenoble, France (2005), La Jolla, USA (2008), Jeju, Korea (2011), Dresden, Germany (2014), San Diego, USA (2017) and Gifu, Japan (2023).
The technical program will cover all aspects of sintering through invited and contributed talks, poster presentations. Students, researchers and faculty members as well as professionals from industry are cordially invited to attend.
We look forward to welcoming you in Aachen, the westernmost city in Germany bordering Belgium and the Netherlands. Aachen is an international, vibrant city with Roman roots and once privileged residence of Emperor Charlemagne.

Aachen is the westernmost city in Germany and lies directly on the border with the Netherlands and Belgium. The city, first mentioned in the 8th century, has a wonderful, traffic-calmed old town with many historic buildings. For centuries, Aachen Cathedral was the coronation site of German kings and emperors - today it is considered the city's landmark and its cathedral treasury houses one of the most important ecclesiastical treasuries north of the Alps. Aachen Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic town hall and the neo-classical Elisenbrunnen fountain are just three of Aachen's most famous sights! With the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH), Aachen has one of the largest and most traditional technical universities in Europe.
