This symposium will provide a discussion forum on fundamental principles of glass science. Contributions covering experimental and theoretical developments in the field of glass science are welcome. Topics of interest include novel developments in the following sessions.

SYMPOSIUM 2: GLASS AND INTERACTIONS WITH ITS ENVIRONMENT FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

This symposium is dedicated to fundamentals and applications of how glass is used in contact with specific environments, e.g., with the human body, how glass surface and interfaces evolve or can be modified in different environments, and how glass can be used to contain other materials and prevent their release in the environment.

SYMPOSIUM 3: OPTICAL AND ELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES — FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

Optical and electronic materials and devices are of critical importance for applications, including sustainable energy, information technology, nonvolatile memory, sensing, medical diagnostics and treatment, and national defense. This symposium will address processing and properties of optical and electronic materials as well as design, fabrication, and performance of functional devices.

SYMPOSIUM 4: GLASS TECHNOLOGY AND
CROSS-CUTTING TOPICS

Glass technology and manufacture and the constant progresses in its different aspects play a key role in our society, and presents its own set of challenges and innovations, from the raw materials to the melt, from glass furnaces to the sustainability of the process, and from traditional forming processes to new techniques such as glass 3D printing. This symposium welcomes papers on these topics in the following sessions:
