Following the last seven successful ICCG conferences, the 8th ICCG is being held on June 13-17, 2010 in Braunschweig, Germany. The focus of the conference is to bring together science and industry. Scientists, technologists, practitioners and managers will have the chance to discuss the latest trends in the field of coatings on glass and plastics. Besides universities and research institutes, the conference addresses coating manufacturers, material and equipment suppliers as well as all kinds of user industries. As a traditional city of science Braunschweig provides an inspiring platform for its guests. Not without reason, future topics have a long tradition in the City of the Lion.

The application of coatings on glass and plastics is an area which has become extremely important for large-area and/or high-volume products. Besides, since 2006 the ICCG focusses on the importance of coated plastics as alternative products to coated glass. Consequently, the name of the conference has been changed to the “International Conference on Coatings on Glass and Plastics”.

The conference structure is very similar to that of previous conferences. On the Sunday afternoon before the conference itself, several educational lectures will be given by experts in the field to provide fundamental and technological background to specific conference topics. On the morning of the first day of the conference, an introductory session will provide market and business information and clarify future technical requirements. Topics in the following technical sessions will cover all of the steps and techniques required to make the final coated product, to control the coating process and to characterize the product. Specific applications, and new markets and trends will be another focus of the conference. The conference will also provide information about the different technologies at a general level for new product designers, as well as technical aspects, safety measures, and environmental and economic consequences. There will also be a panel discussion on “Large-Area Thin Films for Energy Efficiency”.

Besides the stimulating technological and scientific program, we hope that the conference site itself will be very interesting for the participants and will give many opportunities for discussions and networking within the international glass and plastic coatings community.
