You are invited to participate in the 3rd international Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics, from 15 to 18 May 2011, in the beautiful and atmospheric city of Valencia, Spain.

The main topics of the conference are the development, function and modelling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells, including dye-sensitized solar cells, polymer / fullerene solar cells, small molecule organic solar cells, and other ‘excitonic’ solar cell technologies, including hybrid organic / inorganic and nanostructured devices. These solar cell technologies are showing rapid advances both in academia and, increasingly, in comercial development. Building upon success of the the previous HOPV conferences, HOPV 2011 will address the latest advances in science and technology of hybrid and organic solar cells.

The conference will be led by a strong list of invited speakers with a broad geographical distribution covering a broad range of the latest scientific advances on hybrid and organic photovoltaics in morning plenary sessions. The Conference encourages presentation of oral as well as poster contributions from scientists from all over the world, which will be presented in two parallel sessions running in the afternoons . Just submit your abstracts before the deadline, which is strict. These formal talks will be complimented by discussion sessions to foster strategic discussions on specific topics highlighted in the Conference.

James Durrant from the Imperial College London, chair of the HOPV11 conference.
