2020’ Sol-Gel Symposium of China & International Forum will be held in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, October 16-19, 2020. This meeting will be hosted by the Chinese Ceramic Society (CCS) and TC-16 of International Commission on Glass (ICG), sponsored by the Sol-Gel Committee of the Chinese Ceramic Society and Shandong University. Professor Hui YANG from Zhejiang University, who is an ICG TC-16 committee member, will act as the Chairman of this conference, and Professor Dairong CHEN from Shandong University and Mankang ZHU from Bejing University of Technology as the executive Chairman.

The biennial conference, previously known as the "Sol-Gel Symposium of China", made its debut in 1990. It is the most prominent and influential conference in the field of sol-gel science and technology in China now. The hosting place of this conference is Jinan, Shandong Province, China, located at the northeast of China. Jinan is endowed with abundant tourist resources. She possesses a special geographical feature, which is a misture of mountains, springs, lakes, and rivers. She has gained the good name “Spring City”, because the bubbling waters of 72 famous springs enhance the city’s atmosphere.
