Have you ever wondered how important glass is in everyday life or modern society? From the screen of your phone to the windshield of your car, from the fiber optics of your ultra-fast internet connection to the glass you use to taste good wine. Welcome to the Glass Age!

The United Nations General Assembly proclaims 2022 as the International Year of Glass! During the past decades, many research activities have been carried out in Trento, and several seminars and conferences have been organized there, attracting scientists from all over the world.
