HVG and DGG stage several series of events of advanced training. These events address different person groups from the glass and the supply industries, as well as from universities and authorities. The presentations and discussions are in German as a rule; on special occasions, simultaneous translation is available.

This one-day event is directed towards executives from the glass and the supply industries. Results of current scientific investigations with special emphasis on applicability in industrial practice are presented to the participants.

The one and a half day HVG advanced training courses are mainly of interest to engineers in the glass and the supply industries as well as to students of universities, colleges and special colleges of glass technology. Objective of the courses is to provide the participants with proven knowledge from the practice of glass production. HVG puts special value on inviting speakers with experiences in the industry.

For each of the courses a comprehensive manuscript is published. To view the list of the available course manuscripts, click »Publications«.

The annual DGG meeting is staged on three days, mostly at the end of May. Within the framework of this meeting, various lecture series on three half days as well as a poster presentation are organised in which university institutes and suppliers to the glass industry present new results in R&D, frequently also together with users from the glass industry. In conjunction with the annual DGG meeting, international workshops and symposia held in English are also organized.
