Forthcoming events

Semiconductor Sensitized Solar Cells, Jerusalem, 7-10 february 2010


Solar cells based on nanoscale semiconductor sensitizers such as quantum dots and ultrathin absorber layers, have recently received considerable attention. This workshop on, organized by the pioneering scientist Arie Zaban (author of the first report on QDSSC), aims at extensive discussion of alternative, inorganic sensitizers for dye sensitized solar cells.




Nanoscale Devices for Environmental and Energy Applications , San Sebastian, 26-27 april 2010


At the moment there is an enormous interest to find innovative solutions to solve problems related to the production process, the storage, or concerning the way to save clean energy, using nanoscale methods to create viable devices.
This Conference organised by the Consolider HOPE project in cooperation with CIDETEC, the Consolider Molecular Nanoscience, CIC Nanogune project, and CIC Energigune center, will review the recent advances in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) on the research of Nanoscale Devices for Environmental and Energy Applications. The Conference is addressed to all the scientific community that is interested on these subjects.


Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics Conference HOPV 2010, Assisi, Italy, 23-27 may 2010


After the success of the first edition in Benidorm, Spain, may 2009, the second edition of this conference, that concentrates the most exciting developments in dye-sensitized solar cells and all-organic solar cells, will take place in the beautiful setting of Assisi, Italy, and will be organized by leading italian scientist Filippo de Angelis.




Impedance Spectroscopy School, Castellón, Spain, 15 and 16 july 2010.


A complete course covering the whole experimental process of impedance analysis: from the design of experiments, set-up requirements, signal registering, to data analysis, and use of software packages for data fitting and visualization. The IS School 10 will take place at Universitat Jaume I, Castelló, Spain, 15 and 16 july 2010.




Conference on Ordered 1 Dimensional Nanostructures for Photovoltaics, Mallorca, Spain, 12-15 september 2010


One-dimensional (1-D) ordered nanostructures, such as nanowire or nanotube arrays, offer directed charge transfer and facile separation of photo-generated charges. Such high surface area architectures present an intriguing opportunity for significant improvements in 3rd generation photovoltaic device efficiencies. This conference presents a forum for advancing knowledge in this key field, bringing together world-renowned experts dedicated to the synthesis, properties and photovoltaic application of ordered 1-D nanostructures.
