ECI Conference, Sicily, Italy. January 6-11, 2013
Course presentations and videos>

Applications of Synchrotron Techniques in Glass Research (Brookhaven National Laboratory: April 6-8, 2009). IMI-NFG partnered with the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) to introduce the glass community to the unique aspects of synchrotron in materials research now and in the future.

International Workshop on Glass for Harvesting, Storage and Efficient Usage of Solar Energy
(Pittsburgh, PA: Nov. 16-18, 2008) An outstanding group of experts, representing glass manufacturers, users and leading equipment suppliers, governmental agencies and academia reviewed the state of art related to the use of glass in solar application and aimed to identify the most pressing scientific and engineering questions that need to be resolved for expanding the use of glass in solar energy applications.
