European Society Glass'2006 Conference in Sept'06 SUNDERLAND (UK)

欧洲玻璃学会（ESG）会议每两年在欧洲举行一次，是玻璃科学及其应用各个领域科学讨论的主要平台。ESG的下一次会议将于2006年9月在英国桑德兰举行。本次会议也恰逢英国玻璃技术协会年会。如上所述，我们的目标是通过科技信息交流促进玻璃、非晶和半晶、纳米级材料的科学和工程。交流的方式有：工作坊、全体会议、主题演讲和特邀演讲，以及投稿论文。我们还致力于解决在学校和大学预科阶段缺乏这一领域知识的问题，这就是为什么我们为来自英国东北地区的六年级学生组织了一天的活动。会议记录和研讨会主题将在出版商和投稿作者之间的适当版权安排下提供给未来的参考和教学材料。

The European Society of Glass (ESG) conference is held every 2 years in Europe, and is a major platform for scientific discussions in all areas of glass science and its applications. The next meeting of ESG will be held in UK after 30 years in Sunderland in September 2006. This meeting also coincides with the Annual meeting of the Society of Glass Technology in UK. Our goals, as described under objectives above, is to promote science and engineering of glass, amorphous and semicrystalline, nano-scale materials via exchange of scientific and technological information. The methods of exchange are via: workshops, plenary talk, keynote and invited lectures, and contributed papers. We also aim to address the problem of lack of knowledge of this area at the School and pre-university level, which is why we have organised a day of activities for the sixth-form pupils from the North east region of UK. The conference proceedings and workshop topics will be available for future references and teaching materials under suitable copyright arrangements between the publisher and the contributing authors.
