Goal and activities
The Dutch Section of the Combustion Institute (DSCI) is a non-profit educational and scientific association whose goal is to promote the full range of scientific knowledge on combustion and its dissemination and application for the benefit of society. To achieve this broad objective, the association is offering its members opportunities to meet for both scientific discussions and professional education. It fosters collaboration among combustion experts working at universities, technological institutes, or as independent professionals.
Every year we have member meeting typically having on the program an invited lecture, contributed lectures, meeting between board and members to discuss and decide the way forward, labtour.
Since a few years we organise webinars where members or guests present their work.
We distribute an e-mail newsletter and, we are active on LinkedIn.
Combura symposium
The main event on Combustion Research and its Applications in the Netherlands is the
annually-held "Combura Symposium". This Symposium has already taken place over twenty times. Initially the lead (and financial responsibility) in the organisation was taken by the former Technology Foundation STW (a governmental organization). Later this role of leading organiwer was taken over by
the "Nederlandse Vereniging voor Vlamonderzoek" (NVV), the Dutch Assocation for Flame Research, associated with the International Flame Research Foundation (IFRF). Contributing to the success of Combura ia a major goal of DSCI. Its members always play a major role in the organising committee and progam committee.

Combura DSCI poster prize winners
The DSCI has a long tradition in giving a prize to the three best posters presented at the Combura Symposium. It expresses the importance attached by DSCI to stimulating good researchand its presentation.
The DSCI board invites 3 to 4 combustion specialists from academia and industry to become member of the jury.
The jury evaluates the poster on several criteria (scientific importance, presentation style and clarity).
The announcement of jury decision is made at the end of the symposium.
