The Scandinavian Society of Glass Technology, NGF, was founded
in 1949 and is a non-profit society for glass technologists.
Aim - increased glass knowledge and
network
The aim of NGF is to increase
and deepen the knowledge of glass technically and scientifically. Also
to give the possibility of contact and cooperation between persons and
societies in and outside the Scandinavian countries. The society have
individual and company (supportive) members.
Annual meeting
NGF holds one meeting per year. The annual meeing is held in May or
June in one of the Scandinavian countries in turn.
However, the next meeting 2010 will take
place in September. Read more here.
Invited lecturers
NGF's programme committee invites the lecturers from institutes, universities,
glassworks or suppliers.
10 - 15 lectures, often several within the same theme are presented
during two half-days. Abstracts of the lectures are published as pdf-articles
in Virtual Glasteknisk
tidskrift. These articles can be down-loaded without cost.
NGF is a member of the European
Society of Glass Science and Technology, ESG, like seventeen other glass
technical societies.
More information about membership is given on the membership
page.
