ICG releases outline for Montpellier summer school

The International Commission on Glass (IGC) has released more information on their eleventh summer school program, which takes place from July 8 to 12 in Montpellier, France. The workshop is composed of two interwoven threads, with the first being an overview on the fundamentals of glass science emphasising structure-property relationships, experimental techniques, material simulations and tools that probe structure.

The second thread this year will focus on glasses for hazardous waste immobilization, to echo the importance of the nuclear industry and other significant areas of waste disposal. Attention will be given to glass formulation and structure, long-term corrosion behaviour, as well as melting technologies for nuclear waste glasses.
