“A new life for ISGS”
A new Board, a new website, a Newsletter… Christophe Barbé co-founded of the International Sol-Gel Society in 2003 and has been elected last summer as the new ISGS President. He wants to transform the ISGS from a grouping of scientists who are interested in sol-gel science and technology into a professional, fully functional, scientific society… More >>

> The International Sol-Gel Society is developing a new e-letter to try to inform everyone of what’s new in the world of sol-gel. Every 3 months, you will receive a new edition of our newsletter with some news, interviews, publications or book reviews as well as some more practical info on how to get the best of your ISGS membership. Our goal is to make it a useful and interactive communication tool improving the dissemination of information, and serving the sol-gel community at large. Please feel free to send us your feed back and suggestions. We wish you all the best for the festive season.
