ICG International Congresses On Glass

Held every three years, they are an important means of disseminating information on glass science and technology and provide valuable opportunities for glass scientists and technologists to meet. Since the late 1980s ICG Congresses have experienced a significant growth, typically now having between 700 to 1000 attendees and up to 900 papers and posters. The Congresses on Glass have many special features. For example:

the presentation of invited lectures which review major achievements not only in the traditional fields of glass science and technology, but also in related fields of new applications of glass such as optics, photonics, electronics, nanotechnology, coating technology, biotechnology, polymers and composites
and sessions organised by one or more Technical Committees to review key aspects of their work.

The next ICG Congress will be held in Prague, the Czech Republic from 1-5th July in 2013.

ICG Annual Conferences and other events in the Glass Field

In the years when there is no congress ICG organises an Annual Conference. The next such event is to be held in Maastricht in 2012 in conjunction with the biennual ESG meeting and the DGG Annual Meeting. Although often shorter than the main Congresses, several Technical Committees will organise sessions based around their key activities and a full programme of papers will be presented.

Apart from these conferences many other national and international organisations organise conferences on Glass. More information on some of these is available on the 'Other News' section of this web site.
