For this internet portal, the two German glass societies HVG and DGG have summarised their objectives as follows:
We offer professional services to all, who – like us – are dedicated to the material glass.
We support the research work at the interface between university and industrial practice.
We provide publications and organize meetings in order to make available for you the ever-increasing knowledge in the field of glass science and technology.
We maintain the contact to the »glass world« and support the personal exchange within the »glass family«, for example via the online directory of all our members.

If you are able to understand German with at least a basic level, you can check the German pages, too (“Deutsch” at the top of each page), since not all information get translated.
