• ICBT&ET is a cyclical conference, organized for 62 years in a four-year cycle as ICBT, and is considered by experts to be one of the most important boiler conferences in the world.
  • Over 400 participants attended previous editions. Beginning in 2026 with the 15th edition, the conference will change its name to ICBT&ET to maintain its well-known brand while expanding its scope to include issues of broadly defined energy transition.
     
  • ICBT&ET brings together a wide range of specialists from numerous companies and countries. Achievements and new solutions in the production and operation of equipment will be presented, combining research results from universities and research centers, as well as industrial experience.
     
  • In previous editions, approximately 100 papers and announcements were presented. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. Papers of the highest scientific and technical value will be published in journals with an appropriate impact factor. The conference will be conducted in Polish and English. Simultaneous translation is planned.
