The CeRTEV team, in collaboration with ICTP-SAIFR (IFT-UNESP), is pleased to
announce the Fourth São Carlos School on Glasses and Glass-ceramics, to be held from April 27 to May
1, 2026, following the great success of the previous editions held in 2015, 2023 and 2024. This School
is part of a series organized yearly by the International Commission on Glass (ICG) in Montpellier,
Wuhan and Kolkata.
We expect to welcome approximately 70 Ph.D. and M.Sc. students, along with a few young researchers
from several countries. Over the course of five days, the school will offer around 40 hours of activities,
including lectures, fire talks, poster presentations, technical visits, and scientific discussions.
The course is officially recognized by the Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering
(PPGCEM) of the Federal University of São Carlos, which is rated CAPES level 7, the highest level in
Brazil. Students interested in earning academic credits may officially enroll and will be eligible for the
course credits upon completion of the required assignments. CEM-726 - Tópicos Especiais em
