About The Conference

In 2012 the Society of Glass Technology will be heading back to Cambridge to hold the conference, "Living Glass". Cambridge is home to one of the world’s most famous seats of learning. The conference will be held at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge.

The three threads of science, art and technology will be covered: science will cover key themes from novel materials and fabrication routes to structure and properties; technology will include areas such as the environment, fuel usage, modelling and glass applications; and art and history will make reference to the long traditions of stained glass in the colleges and religious buildings of Cambridge.
