History to Brazilian Symposium on Glass 2012
The Brazilian Symposium on Glass and Related Materials is being
held since 1995 in different venues in Brazil. Beginning as a
national meeting, after 2001 it has been organized together with The
International Symposium on Non-Crystalline Solids, which
consolidated its international profile. In this occasion we will
organize it jointly with the Brazilian and Ibero-american
congresses of ceramics.
