The Society of Glass Technology has been selected to host the 2006 meeting of the European Society of Glass Science and Technology. The meeting will be held on 10-14 September 2006 at St Peter's Campus, University of Sunderland. The ESG series of meetings normally feature two parallel sessions, one covering purely scientific research and the other covering industrial and technological developments. The ESG Conference is held every two years in a different host country. The scope of this conference is to promote glass science and technology and, in particular to enhance interaction among experts working on diverse areas such as glass manufacturing, glass archaeology, art and environmental issues, as well as glass science and applications. The last Athens conference held in April 2004, included around 80 oral papers and 40 poster presentations.
