BCerS - JA 2011

The 2011 Annual meeting of BCerS was held in the University of Mons (UMons) on Monday 7th February 2011 and gathered together 50 participants.
Thirteen speeches and thirteen posters were presented in the field of inorganic materials.

This meeting began with the "Student Speech Contest" and "Best Thesis Contest".

We are pleased to congratulate the laureate of the 2011 Student Speech Contest, Cedric Buysse and the laureate of the 2011 Ph. D. Contest, Bram Neirinck.
Cedric Buysse will represent Belgium to the Student Speaking Contest organised by the European Ceramic Society in Stockholm (Sweden) on June 12-23, 2011 during the ECerS XII conference.

Cédric Buysse - Omer Van der Biest (President of BCerS) - Bram Neirinck
