The TCP for Clean and Efficient Combustion held its 40th Task Leaders Meeting (TLM) in Fréjus, France from June 10-14. The TLM is a unique event that provides an opportunity for the leaders of the collaborative tasks (analogous to Annexes in other TCPs) to bring the participants together for detailed technical exchanges as well as programmatic coordination.

This year, approximately 50 researchers and programme managers from all 11 TCP participating countries attended the TLM, which was organized by the TCP Chair Christine Rousselle of the University of Orléans. Contributions of guest speakers from the TCP Hydrogen, the SMARTCATs COST action, ADEME, IFPEN and ETH Zürich enriched the broader discussions on the role of combustion-based technologies in future energy systems.
