21st University Conference on Glass & Summer School

July 23-27, 2024


Join experts from the U.S. and international glass communities who educate, inspire, and train the next generation of glass and glass-ceramic professionals.


Five days of lectures, presentations, and glass.

The 21st University Conference on Glass and Summer School is a 5-day conference for undergraduates, graduates, and professionals to learn about the latest glass research and science.

Sessions will begin with introductory lectures by glass experts on important glass subjects. Afterwards, undergraduate and graduate students are invited to present their latest research to fellow members of the glass community. 

The conference will combine these two aspects of learning throughout the week. We especially welcome students from outside of glass science who are interested in learning more about glass.
