12th ICG Montpellier Summer School is planned for 5-9th July 2021 as a virtual event.
GLASS FORMATION, STRUCTURE, AND PROPERTIES
& RHEOLOGICAL BEHAVIOUR
MONTPELLIER (France), 5th-9th JULY 2021
The workshop will be composed of two interwoven threads.
The first thread will overview fundamentals in glass science emphasising structure-property relationships, experimental techniques, material simulations and tools that probe structure. Specific properties and applications will be discussed e.g. optical behaviour, transport phenomena, nucleation and crystallisation, and strength.
The second thread will focus on the viscosity of commercial and geological glass forming melts, measurement methods and models to describe the temperature and composition dependence. Viscoelastic behaviour near the glass transition, Tg will be described, particularly in the context of glass fabrication processes such as fibre making and pressing.
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.
Is this for you?
If you are a new research student or have just started work in the glass industry then the answer is yes.

6th Wuhan Winter School 1-6th November, 2020 is cancelled. Plans are in preparation for a date in November 2021.
Glass Formation, Structure and Properties
Special theme: Glass fibres
Introduction
The workshop will be composed of two interwoven threads. The first thread concerns fundamentals in glass science emphasizing structure-property relationships, experimental techniques and numerical simulations. The second thread this year will focus on glass fibres. Attention will be given to glass fibers for optics and re-inforcement, together with their applications.
One significant aspect of the workshop will be student-centered projects that will help participants to develop their understanding by applying what they know to specific issues. The other is to strengthen the fundamentals of glass science to fresh engineers from glass industry.
The lecturers are the world experts in their fields and will be announced in the next circular.
Organization
ICG-TC23, The Chinese Ceramic Society, China Triumph International Engineering Co. Ltd (CTIEC), Wuhan University of Technology, State Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials for Architectures (SMART)
