The second summer school option, held prior to the Shaping 9 conference, "How to shape ceramic ideas into real products - laboratory excellence versus industrial needs" will aim to enrich the knowledge of the participants, widening their perspective on selected topics related to ceramic shaping processes. This summer school experience will also allow students to expand their network getting in contact with experts in the respective and related fields. "How to shape ceramic ideas into real products - laboratory excellence versus industrial needs" will be held on September 24th and 25th in Warsaw, Poland.

Each ECerS Summer School option will feature internationally renowned teachers who are experts in the field. They will welcome young researchers from research and industrial fields around the world to attend the summer school.
