The FERIA Series of Conferences

The FERIA Series of Conferences has its roots in the Forum’s first UK National Meeting, which was held at Loughborough University in 1996. Since then, this Conference, which later became known as ECCRIA grown into a well-established biennial conference with an international attendance, which has been held at the University of Nottingham, (1998), Aston University, (2000), Imperial College London, (2002), the University of Edinburgh, (2004), the University of Kent, (2006), Cardiff University, (2008), the University of Leeds, (2010), the University of Nottingham, (2012), the University of Hull, (2014), the University of Sheffield, (2016), and Cardiff University, (2018). ). The Programme, Presentations and other information from the 12th ECCRIA Conference held at Cardiff University can be found here.

As a result of the change of name and remit of the Forum to the Fuel and Energy Research Forum in 2017, the decision has been taken to change the name of this series of Conferences to FERIA, where the first in this series was “The 1st FERIA Conference, the European Conference on Fuel and Energy Research and Its Applications, the Successor to the ECCRIA Series of Conferences”, held at the University of Nottingham.

This 1st FERIA Conference was held on 6th to 8th September 2021 at the University of Nottingham. As a direct result of the remit for this Conference being expanded to biomass and waste as well as other fossil fuels, this Conference initially attracted the largest number of abstracts submitted to this series of conferences and more sponsorship being received than for any of the previous ECCRIA Conferences. This Conference also incorporated the 2nd Clean Energy Science Lecture. All aspects of fuel and energy utilisation research currently being carried out in the UK were covered by this Conference, where it attracted participants from several of the major UK organisations carrying out fuel and energy R&D, as well as some participants from overseas. The Programme, Presentations and other information from the 1st FERIA Conference can be found here.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, a number of overseas participants were unable to attend, thus reducing the usual attendance. However, the Conference was attended by just under 100 participants, although some participants did present their papers as pre-recorded presentations. Never-the-less, there were some registered participants from overseas representing 7 countries, (Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, and Russia). The conference had 88 oral presentations, presented in parallel sessions, as well as almost 20 poster presentations. 

“The 2nd FERIA Conference, the European Conference on Fuel and Energy Research and Its Applications”will to take place at the Edge Conference Centre, the University of Sheffield on Monday 4th to Wednesday 6th September 2023.  The Conference Announcement and Call for Abstracts can be found here and more information can be found here For any queries please contact the conference manager Dr Bijal Gudka at info@tferf.org.
