About The International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement (ICCC)
The International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement (ICCC) is the renowned global platform which summarizes the state of the art of cement chemistry and major trends in cement application. The congresses have been held generally at intervals of four to six years since 1918, providing a strong and fruitful link between the academic world and the cement industry. The ICCC has always stimulated scientific exchanges and discussions between students and those who have already gained working experience in all of the many fields of chemistry relevant to cement production and its use in mortar and concrete.
