The call for applications is open. Please click on 'Apply here' to submit your application.
This conference aims to bring together global experts to discuss advances in photophysics and photochemistry with a focus on renewable energy, light-matter interactions, and interdisciplinary innovation.
The conference aims to foster collaboration between theorists and experimentalists in the fields of photophysics and photochemistry, with a strong focus on the participation of researchers from developing and underrepresented communities. It is designed to provide a dynamic and interactive platform for in-depth discussions between established experts and early-career researchers and students. The scientific program will cover a broad range of topics, including green synthetic methodologies, photo(electro)catalysis, carrier transport phenomena, single-junction/tandem photovoltaics, CO2 reduction reactions, and advanced spectroscopic techniques. Distinctively, the conference emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration by uniting specialists from both photophysics and photochemistry. The program will feature invited lectures, contributed talks, and poster sessions.
