The next edition of the Challenging Glass Conference will take place 17 and 18 May 2018 at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
Challenging Glass is an international bi-annual conference that aims at gathering world class designers, engineers, researchers and industry partners to discuss on the architectural and structural use of glass.
Previous editions of the Challenging Glass conferences were held in 2016 at Ghent University in Belgium, in 2014 at the EPFL in Switzerland and in 2012, 2010 and 2008 at the TU Delft in The Netherlands.
Challenging Glass 6 will take place 17 and 18 May 2018 at TU Delft in the Netherlands.
