The Sixth Mediterranean Combustion Symposium, jointly co-sponsored by the Combustion Institute and the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer was held in Corsica, France, in June 7–11, 2009. It was built on the success of five previous meetings held in Antalya, Turkey, in June 1999, in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in January 2002, in Marrakech, Morocco, in June 2003, in Lisbon, Portugal, in October 2005, in Monastir, Tunisia, in September 2007. As before, the objective of the symposium was to give combustion scientists, engineers and students from Mediterranean as well as from other countries, an opportunity to get together for the dissemination of the international state-of-the-art and recent advances in the field and to enhance future collaborative research activities between scientists from different countries of the region. About 200 scientists from 31 countries (Algeria, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Canada, China, Chile, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Taiwan, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE, UK, USA) participated in the meeting. The program included nine invited lectures, four parallel sessions for oral presentation and a poster session. The invited lectures were delivered by well known experts in the field (N. Chaumeix, S.H. Chung, S. Hochgreb, A.G. Konstandopoulos, W. Pitts, P. Salatino, H. Wang, J. Werther, F. Winter). The sessions were performed on the following colloquia topics: Combustion Diagnostics and Radiative Transfer, Fire and Explosions, Forest Fires, New Concepts in Combustion Technology, Pollutants Formation and Control, Practical Combustion Systems, Propulsion and Engines Combustion, Reaction Kinetics of Combustion, Solid Fuels, Waste Combustion and Gasification, Stationary Combustion, Turbulent Combustion. One hundred and eighteen contributed papers and 17 posters were presented together with nine invited lectures. All papers were reviewed on full manuscripts by colloquia co-chairs, advisory board members and external reviewers. Invited lectures, accepted contributed papers and abstracts of poster papers were collected together on a CD. This special issue of Experimental Thermal Fluid Science is the sixth of the series that started with the First Mediterranean Combustion Symposium and contains papers selected on the basis of quality reported by the reviewers in respect of the aims and scope of the Journal.
