Strengthening The Glass Bridge Between Brazil and China

"Following LaMaV–UFSCar's long-standing tradition of fostering international collaborations, I am honored to be visiting the renowned State Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials for Architectures (SMART) and the State Key Laboratory for Advanced Glasses at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT)." - Edgar D. Zanotto.

"During this visit, we are taking major steps forward:

  • I have signed a 5-year "High-Level Talent" collaboration agreement with WUT.
  • I am deeply honored to announce that WUT has officially launched EZ-GLAD (the Edgar Zanotto Global Laboratory of Advanced Disordered Materials) -- an acronym chosen by Prof. Jihong Zhang -- to drive international progress in the field.
  • In parallel, a broader Memorandum of Understanding between UFSCar and WUT is currently under evaluation, aiming to expand our long-term academic cooperation in education, glass science and technology." - Edgar D. Zanotto.
