FunGlass team at the Czech and Slovak Conference on Glass in Prague

 The Czech and Slovak Conference on Glass , held in Prague on 9–11 November 2022, is a traditional conference aimed at facilitating social and professional meetings between members of the Czech Glass Society and Slovak Glass Society and others interested in glass. Within its professional programme, it presented the main directions of glass research and development and provided a platform for communication between glassmakers from both academia and industry. The conference also included a joint programme with the Glass and Ceramics Industry Association to discuss current issues in industry and education.

FunGlass director of centre Prof. Dušan Galusek was in oganizing committee and Prof. Marek Liška was a member of Scientific board. FunGlass researchers and students participated with their lectures and posters:
