GPD 25th Anniversary Conference
6th December 2016

Preparations for the 25th Anniversary Conference of the Glass Performance Days (GPD) June 28-30, 2017 in Tampere, Finland are underway. The First Call for Papers resulted in some 80 propositions and the number of workshop initiatives was 16. There is a second chance to file abstracts by January 20, 2017.

At its recent meeting in Belgium the Program Committee reviewed the new ideas and concepts for the upcoming Conference and it also underlined the importance of strict, technical, non-commercial approaches papers, according to Jorma Vitkala, Chairman of the Organizing Committee; the place for commercial messages is at the related exhibition.

For 2017 there is an added opportunity especially for universities and research organizations to have their presentation abstracts reviewed by the scientific committee of the Conference. These papers must meet high scientific standards and will be published in a separate scientific journal. They will also receive extended abstract coverage in the Conference Proceedings booklet which will ensure enhanced publicity.

Organisers add that: “Midsummer time, when the sun never sets in Northern Scandinavia, is well suited for mingling and the making of new acquaintance through the social program. Also, the fact that 2017 is Finland´s 100th Anniversary Year as a nation adds some excitement for its own part.”
