Welcome to the International Year of Glass 2022 (iyog2022)! This brand is dedicated to celebrating the essential role that glass plays in society. The United Nations approved the joint application by the International Commission on Glass (ICG), the Community of Glass Associations (CGA), and ICOM-Glass, declaring 2022 as the International Year of Glass. With unparalleled versatility and technical capabilities, glass has fostered numerous cultural and scientific advancements.

From being the main conduit for information in our knowledge-based society to revolutionizing global communications and revolutionizing the way we communicate with touch-sensitive phone covers, glass has truly shaped our world. It is also a chemically resistant container material for life-saving medicines and is playing a vital role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The International Year of Glass aims to highlight the past, present, and future of glass, while addressing the United Nations' goals in Agenda 2030.

It includes organizing international glass science and art festivals, stimulating research, building worldwide alliances, and promoting gender balance and the needs of developing countries. Exciting events are planned, including conferences, displays, and activities worldwide. As plans progress, expect radical changes and new information on this site.

Join us in celebrating the transformative power of glass and its impact on society
