American Ceramic Society in Madrid Summer School

ECerS-Summer-School-Madrid (1)

School is in session—ECerS hosts summer school program in Madrid, Spain

The European Ceramic Society hosted a summer school program June 17–19, 2015 in Madrid that focused on ceramic and glass science and technology—specifically, applications to bioceramics and bioglasses. Then, it is the 14th European Ceramic Society Annual Conference in Toledo, Spain.

I am very honored to be selected as one of the U.S. representative in the summer school and the 14th European Ceramic Society Annual Conference. The ECerS conference and summer school is a life changing experience for researchers at any stage of their career—it truly expands your horizons in ideas, collaborations, aspirations, and professional network.
