The AF3P (Association Française de Pyrotechnie) and GTPS (Groupe de Travail de Pyrotechnie) organize the EUROPYRO 2027 conference at the Reims Convention Center (France).

This event gathers, every 4 years, representatives from industry and research laboratories in the field of explosives, pyrotechnics and energetic materials.

The International Pyrotechnics Society (IPS) is closely associated with this event, and will celebrate its 50th seminar on this occasion.This exceptional edition of EUROPYRO will therefore bear the label “50th IPS Seminar”.

The conference will focus on current status and improvements in explosives and pyrotechnic fields for defense, space, industry and safety applications.
