In 2022, the SFPE Foundation awarded $5,000 in student scholarships to four participants of the 2nd annual Asia-Pacific Combustion Institute Summer School (APCISS-2) in Chile. The APCISS is one of just a few Combustion Institute approved summer schools and the only one that focuses on problems related to combustion fires. In the December 2022 program, South American graduate students learned both theory and practice, attended hands-on workshops, and presented research posters. View their research posters to learn more about their work.
