An article by Dirk Diederich entitled ‘Analytics and quality assurance for glass production and glass finishing’ appeared in the annual magazine Werkstofftechnik 2024, published by the Institute for Scientific Publications IWV. Physical and chemical analyses accompany the entire glass production process. Many errors can occur during the process, which can be explained by glass analyses from the IGR. Please follow the link to the online version of the article.
In the specialist journal Nachrichten aus der Chemie, issue 70, May 2022, an article entitled “Glasanalytik: Das Bunte durchblicken” an article by Dirk Diederich and Dr Hubert Drexler was published that uses blue and brown glasses to show how software can calculate spectra. The results are almost as accurate as wet chemical analyses.

A new regional entrepreneurial alliance for innovation (RUBIN) is planned under the leadership of the IGR:
A “Glass Valley” for the Weser-Leine-Harz region
As the economic efficiency of glass production is strongly determined by energy and raw material costs
, alliance partners under the leadership of IGR Göttingen want to make decisive contributions to growth, sustainability and digitalisation in the
glass industry in the Weser-Leine-Harz region as a “Glass Valley”
.
