The Combustion Institute is a non-profit, international, scientific society whose purpose is to promote and disseminate research in combustion science. Major activities of The Combustion Institute include the organization of biennial International Symposia on Combustion and dissemination of combustion research through its official journal, Combustion and Flame.

The Combustion Institute is open to anyone who is interested in research into combustion phenomena. For example we have members who are physical chemists, fuel technologists, fluid dynamicists, combustion engine designers, fire scientists, environmental scientists, mechanical and aerospace engineers, detonation specialists, and fire fighters.

Institute members receive substantial discounts on all the functions and publications of the Institute. For example, our members can get a one year subscription to Combustion and Flame for $52.00. Normally this journal costs $ 1055 for a one year subscription.

Members from each section of The Combustion Institute also organize sectional meetings. There are 25 countries involved in The Combustion Institute with three sections in the U.S. All members and the general public are invited to participate in each of these technical meetings.
