Despite its popularity in contemporary architecture, glass is still considered a highly specialised material, rarely taught at technical universities and certainly not at the same level as more commonly applied materials, such as steel, concrete and timber.

​

Open GLASSroom, supported by an Erasmus+ fund, brings together an international community of glass experts from universities and the industry in developing a common future-oriented glass curriculum. The goal is to develop Open Educational Resources on glass design & engineering and share them to support students, educators and practitioners. The Open glassroom will address fundamental and emerging topics in research and innovation, organised in 5 collections:

​

• Glass Fundamentals

• Glass Applications

• Glass Codes & Standards

• Glass Sustainability

• Glass Projects & Research
   

We are currently producing our OER content - materials will follow soon on the Open GLASSroom community platform! For updates, follows us on LinkedIn and Instagram or get in touch by email at contact@openglassroom.eu. Further infromation can be found here.
