The Belgian Ceramic Research Centre provides high-quality technological support to industrial partners, helping them to stay up-to-date with the latest innovations and advancements in the fields of ceramics, refractory materials, and glass.
The centre is composed of the INISMa, CRIBC, and INS, which together form a research and testing hub for these materials.

The JECS Trust was formally set up in December 2007 to oversee the expenditure of funds passed on to the European Ceramic Society (ECerS) by the Society’s Journal and by its publisher, Elsevier.
In its allocation of the Trust’s resources, the Trust Council aims :
To enable the European Ceramic Societies to engage in a broad range of activities for the benefit of its membership.
To strengthen research and teaching in Europe within the subject of ceramics.
To maintain and build on the current strong position of the Journals.
