A. GLASS FORMATION, STRUCTURE, AND PROPERTIES 

B. BIOGLASSES

MONTPELLIER (France), 2nd-7th JULY 2018 

The workshop will be composed of two interwoven threads.

The first will overview fundamentals in glass 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 will focus on bioglasses. 

A more complete programme will  be published later (March 2018).

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.

Wuhan, China, 13th-17th Nov, 2017

This workshop will review glass science, structure-property relationships, experimental techniques and numerical simulations. Specific properties, their structural dependence and applications will be discussed, e.g. optical behavior, viscosity and ageing, transport phenomena, nucleation and crystallization.

The lecturers will be world experts in their fields. A significant aspect of the workshop will be student-centred projects that will help you to develop your understanding by applying what your knowledge to specific issues. If you are a new PhD or Masters student or have recently started research in the glass industry then this workshop is the right choice for you.

Details of this School will be announced nearer to the date.
