We are pleased to announce that on May 24, 2024, the event “The Thousand Lives of Glass” will take place at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, organized by the Italian Chapter of the American Ceramic Society.

This initiative, launched in 2011 with the aim of bringing together companies and researchers in the glass sector, is dedicated to sharing the most innovative ideas developed in laboratories and transferring them to interested businesses to explore new opportunities offered by this extraordinary material with a millennia-old history. This is the third edition, following those held in 2019 and 2022. Isoclima SpA has contributed to the sponsorship of the event, supporting high-profile scientific gatherings. In addition to its role as a sponsor, Isoclima will actively participate in the event, presenting scientific contributions resulting from the international collaboration of its R&D department with some of the world’s leading experts in glass science.

Dr. Guglielmo Macrelli, Chief Technical Officer of Isoclima, will attend the event as a speaker with his presentation “Sustainable glass technologies for thinner yet stronger glass products,” co-authored by Arun K. Varshneya from Alfred University (USA), John C. Mauro from Penn State University (USA), and Stefan Karlsson from RI.SE (Sweden). He will also be a co-author in the presentation “Flexible glass: from the legend to the forefront of photonic research,” delivered at the event by Giancarlo Righini from CNR-IFAC (Florence, Italy), with additional co-authors including Guglielmo Macrelli, Maurizio Ferrari from CNR-Institute of Photonics and Nanotechnologies (Trento, Italy), and Anna Lukoviak from the Polish Academy of Sciences (Poland).
