The IX Brazilian Symposium on Glass and Related Materials, jointly with the 56th Brazilian Congress on Ceramics and the 1st Latin-American Congress on Ceramics will be held in Curitiba, PR, Brazil, from 03 to 06 June 2012.

The Symposium is organized every two years and is a unique opportunity to bring together researchers and technologists working in the field of glass and related materials not only in Brazil, but all over the world, to present their most recent research work, to share ideas and experiences and to catalyze the interaction of Brazilian scientists, technologists and students with renowned international experts. The strategy consists in providing a relaxed atmosphere in a comfortable venue to facilitate contact among participants, thus promoting the exchange of information and fostering future research collaboration.

The IX Brazilian Symposium on Glass and Related Materials will concentrate on topics related to glass science, technology and manufacturing (structure, formation, crystallization, properties, sol-gel glasses, bioglasses, non-oxide glasses, glass-ceramics, optical fibers, metallic glasses, glass manufacture, environmental issues, recycling).

The Organizing Committee cordially invites you to attend IX Brazilian Symposium on Glass 2012 and looks forward to see you in Curitiba in June 2012.
