Al-Farabi Kazakh National University to Host the 11th International Seminar on Flame Structure

From September 22 to 25, 2026, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University will host the 11th International Seminar on Flame Structure (11ISFS) in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The Seminar continues a long-standing tradition of international scientific meetings dedicated to fundamental and applied research in combustion science. The first seminar on gas flame structure was held in Novosibirsk in 1983. Today, the Flame Structure Seminar series serves as an important international scientific forum bringing together researchers in combustion physics and chemistry, chemical kinetics, flame dynamics, energetic materials, and advanced energy technologies.
Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, the Institute of Combustion Problems of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the V.V. Voevodsky Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the S.S. Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences jointly organize the 11ISFS.
The Seminar program will feature plenary and oral presentations, as well as poster sessions. Key scientific topics include alternative fuels, improved combustion efficiency, advanced energy technologies and energetic materials, the formation of soot, nanoparticles and toxic compounds during combustion, waste processing and utilization for energy applications, and modern experimental and numerical research methods.
The scientific scope of the Seminar is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 7, 9, 12 and 17), contributing to clean energy, innovation, efficient resource utilization and international scientific cooperation.
The scientific program will take place on September 22–24 at the Scientific Library of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. A cultural program for participants is scheduled for September 25.
