New Updates from the Chairman, Professor Stéphane Parola

Planning for Sol-Gel 2021, which will be held in the 2000-year-old UNESCO World Heritage city of Lyon, is gath-ering momentum, with pre-registration now open and Abstract submission for oral and poster presentations scheduled for opening in September. The 2021 meeting will continue the rich tradition established by the Interna-tional Sol-Gel Conference series that began in 1981, with the first such meeting in Padova, Italy. Since the inau-gural workshop, the conference has now been held in 13 different countries, highlighting the remarkable cultural diversity of our international community.

Additional information about the conference can be obtained by visiting the conference website. A short video is also available here.

The Organisers look forward to welcoming you to Lyon in 2021!

ISGS is an international, interdisciplinary, not-for-profit organization whose primary purpose and objective is the advancement of sol-gel science and technology. ISGS aims are both to represent the particular needs and aspirations of the international sol-gel community and to support this sol-gel community.

Since the inception of the highly successful Sol-Gel Workshop series in Padova during 1981, sol-gel science and technology has evolved from its origins within traditional materials science (mainly glass and ceramics) to become an extraordinarily multidisciplinary area of research, spanning chemistry, physics, biology, materials science and nanotechnology.

ISGS, grouping of scientists who are interested in sol-gel science and technology at the begining, evolved over time in a professional, fully functional, scientific society.
