Program 3rd Sao Carlos School on G and GC March 6 -2025

The CeRTEV team (www.certev.ufscar.br) is organizing the Third School on Glasses and Glass-ceramics from March 10 to 15, 2025 following the success of the First International School in 2015 and the Second in 2023. The main objectives of the school are:

• Provide state-of-the-art information on the structure, dynamic processes (diffusion, viscous flow, relaxation, and crystallization), and optical, electrical, mechanical, and bio-chemical properties of glasses and glass-ceramics.
• Disseminate CeRTEV’s faculty, infrastructure, and facilities to Brazilian and international students.
• Strengthen the international network of CeRTEV collaborators.
• Attract future students, post-docs, and visiting scientists and foster collaborative research.

The instructors are well-known experts in experimental, theoretical, and computer simulation studies of glasses. Several professors from the NYSCC Alfred University, USA, will join us this year.
