The 2nd São Carlos School on Glasses and Glass-Ceramics was a huge success—a full 40 hours (19 lectures and lab visits) packed with updated info about glasses and glass-ceramics, from their structures to dynamic processes and properties.

In total, around 75 Ph.D. students and post-docs from 13 different countries attended, mixing it up, sharing ideas, and creating an awesome vibe. And wasn’t the social program and the exotic meals a blast? Can’t wait to catch up with some of you (and attendees of our previous School) at the next glass conferences in Las Vegas (GOMD-ACerS), Cambridge (ESG/SGT), Alfred, Korea (IGC), Orleans (Crystallization)… The Sanca School network is nucleated and going strong!

The YouTube links for 15 of the 19 lectures are dropping next week. These are perfect for anyone who’s interested in glass science and technology and wants to relive those moments or catch what they missed.

Big thanks to the CeRTEV crew for bringing us all together. Massive thanks to the 20 instructors, student mentors (who are now members of this new network), and companies who got everyone to Brazil and sponsored the technical and social activities: FAPESP, DEMa-UFSCar, ParqTec São Carlos, FAI-UFSCar, IFSC-USP, FunGlass, Şişecam, AGC, and Corning.
