Event Program
The Glass Forum ’23, held at TU Delft, is a one-day research symposium on glass design & engineering and on novel glass applications, with a particular focus on sustainability and circular use. Aim of the Glass Forum is to share the recent research academic findings with international experts, strengthen exiting research collaborations and foster new relationships for pushing the boundaries of glass applications. The Glass Forum includes presentations by internationally leading keynote speakers, as well as from researchers, primarily from TU Delft and the University of Cambridge. The invitees are key players in research and industry and attend the event to review and share their views on the most recent developments in glass research and real-world applications.
