The Society of Glass Technology Centenary Conference & European Society of Glass Science and Technology 2016 Conference, including British Society Scientific Glassblowers will be held in Sheffield UK, from 4–8 September 2016.
The conference will be a significant opportunity to review the state of glass in its widest manifestations – from the theoretical challenges of understanding the glassy state and the glass transition to the latest developments in the application of glasses in windows and containers, information technology, medical applications and waste vitrification, as well as the history and artistic applications of glass.
“We are proud that the SGT100 meeting is also the 2016 European Society of Glass (ESG 2016) meeting – a meeting that traditionally has a strong industrial focus and thus we therefore look forward to a conference that brings people from all parts of the glass community together,” said Professor Russell Hand, President of the Society of Glass Technology.
Plenary and keynote talks, invited talks, contributed papers and poster sessions will cover all aspects of glass science, technology, manufacture, engineering, art, archaeometry and heritage.
Topics will be addressed within five key themes:
• Fundamental Glass Science
• Applied Glass Science and Technology
• Glass Industry, Manufacture and Applications
• History, Heritage and Archaeometry of Glass
• Glass Art and Cra ft
The Conference Organisers cordially invite all who wish to offer papers for presentation at the Centenary Conference to send in their abstracts.
