La Edad del Vidrio

Abstract

[ES] El artículo resume la historia y desarrollo del Año Internacional de Vidrio de Naciones Unidas (IYOG2022). Desde su origen en la idea surgida en Corning, de que estamos transitando la Edad del Vidrio, a la decisión de la Comisión Internacional de Vidrio (ICG) de proponer la nominación de 2022 como IYOG a la Misión Permanente de España en la ONU-Nueva York. El proyecto concitó el interés inmediato de todo el mundo del vidrio, desde la ciencia y la industria al arte y museos, que impulsaron el proyecto a través de más de 2500 instituciones de 96 países de los cinco continentes. El camino no fue fácil porque la COVID impuso restricciones por doquier, pero también demostró el papel crucial de este material, por ej. en el envasado y distribución de las vacunas en condiciones extremas y, mucho más, en poner en contacto y comunicar a todo el planeta, desde las grandes ciudades hasta las aldeas más lejanas, a través de maravillosa red de fibra óptica que es la base física de Internet. La autora, Presidenta del IYOG 2022, hace un apretado resumen de las más importantes entre los miles de actividades desarrolladas en 2022. El mundo del vidrio ha avanzado en 2022 en colaboración y cooperación, se ha comenzado a construir una nueva cultura. Una cultura transversal y sólida, donde las asociaciones industriales promovían la educación, el arte nacía del vidrio reciclado y los científicos y tecnólogos explicaban cómo perseguir y alcanzar los retos de la sostenibilidad y la justicia social usando vidrio. Los límites entre la academia, la industria y el arte desaparecieron; todos nos convertimos en simples ciudadanos con el objetivo común de trabajar y construir juntos. En este camino seguimos transitando la Edad del Vidrio.

[EN] The article summarizes the history and development of the United Nations International Year of Glass (IYOG2022). From its origin in the idea that arose in Corning, that we are transiting the Age of Glass, to the decision of the International Glass Commission (ICG) to propose the 2022 nomination as IYOG to the Permanent Mission of Spain to the UN-New York. The project attracted the immediate interest of the entire glass world, from science and industry to art and museums, which promoted the project through more than 2500 institutions in 96 countries on five continents. The road was not easy because COVID imposed restrictions everywhere. But it also demonstrated the crucial role of this material, e.g. in the packaging and distribution of vaccines in extreme conditions and, much more, in connecting and communicating the entire planet, from the big cities to the most distant villages, through wonderful optical fibre network, the physical base of the Internet. The author, Chair of IYOG 2022, offers a brief summary of the most important among the thousands of activities carried out in 2022. The world of glass has advanced in 2022 in collaboration and cooperation, beginning to build a new culture. A transversal and strong culture, where industry associations promoted education, art was born from recycled glass, and scientists and technologists explained how to pursue and achieve the challenges of sustainability and social justice using glass. The boundaries between academia, industry, and art disappeared; we all become simple citizens with the common goal of working and building together. On this path, we continue to walk through the Glass Age.
