The International Commission on Glass conference takes place in Montpellier on July 3 – 7.
The 9th workshop for new researchers in glass science and technology glass formation, structure, and properties and how numerical modeling can help to disentangle some key technological challenges in glasses.
The workshop will be composed of two interwoven threads. The first thread will overview fundamentals in glass science emphasising structure-property relationships, experimental techniques and material simulations. Specific properties, their structural dependence, and applications will be discussed, e.g. optical behaviour, transport phenomena, nucleation and crystallisation, and strength. The second thread this year will focus on a variety of process and product simulations. On the one hand, numerical technologies combined with experiments offer the optimal design guide for key industrial processes, e.g. heat transfer, melt flow, and glass forming. On the other hand, stress analysis and data-oriented technologies are beneficial to designing products of sufficient quality. In the sessions where the two threads overlap, all participants will cross two bridges: one between science and technology, the other between academia and industry. The lecturers will be world experts in their fields. A significant aspect of the workshop will be student-centred projects that will help participants to develop their understanding by applying what they know to specific issues.
