Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the second
circular for the upcoming GLASSAC-08 congress,
which will be held at the Aula Magna of Valencia

The aim of this event is to create a focus
on the applications of glass science in art and
conservation. We hope to enhance communication
among scientists belonging to different fields
with artist and conservators. The congress will
give an opportunity to work together and discuss
the latest results in a variety of topics
including: Bronze Age glass • Hellenistic glass •
Islamic glass • Roman glass • Mould-blown glass •
Glass decoration and enamel • Medieval stained
glass window • Façon-de-Venise glass • Glass in
the 18th and 19th century • Contemporary glass •
Glass technology production • Raw materials •
Dating and provenance of glass • Restoration and
conservation of glass • Glass corrosion and
weathering • Archaeometry of glass •........................
