Simons Collaboration on
Cracking the Glass Problem
Annual Meeting
March 7-10, 2018
The second annual meeting of the Simons Collaboration on the Cracking Glass Problem will bring together collaboration members and guest speakers to review and discuss the collaboration’s research and progress over the last year.
To foster communication and interaction among young scientists, an additional workshop will be held at Columbia University on March 10th, mainly devoted to the interaction between the Junior scientists of the collaboration. This Junior workshop is meant to be attended only by non-Senior members of the collaboration.
Organizers: M. Baity-Jesi, G. Biroli and D.R. Reichman.
[Due to inclement weather the conference program for Thursday and Friday has been changed]
