The reduction processes of Eu 3+ ions in aluminoborosilicate glasses were studied using both high‐temperature melting in air and β‐irradiation by time‐resolved luminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopies. The Eu 2+ ions produced during the synthesis are characterized by the UV excited broadband luminescence in the blue region due to the 4 f 6 5 d 1 –4 f 7 transition. This band revealed the presence more than one Eu 2+ site participating in the emission with different crystalline fields and with different covalency of surrounding ligands. In irradiated glasses, the observed redshift of the Eu 2+ emission band is related to the different relative proportion between Eu 2+ sites.
