Ladies and Gentlemen
It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 10th International
Conference on Photochemical Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy to be held
in the Interlaken Conference Centre, Switzerland, from July 24-29, 1994.
IPS conferences are held every two years with the aim of outlining the latest
developments in the field of photochemical conversion and storage of solar
energy. This IPS conference will cover the following areas:
* Photoinduced electron transfer processes;
* Photocatalysis in heterogeneous and homogeneous systems;
* Photoelectrochemistry;
* Photosynthesis in biological and biomimetic systems;
* Quantum chemical studies of molecules on surfaces under the influence of
light;
(which will be a challenge for computational chemists to contribute)
* Thermodynamic aspects of quantum solar energy conversion;
* Photochemistry at elevated temperatures: quantum processes?;
* Environmental applications of photocatalytic systems;
* Materials for photoenergy conversion and photochemical engineering.
Two lectures concern solar energy applications and solar energy research in
Switzerland.
I look forward to seeing you in Interlaken in July 1994.
Gion Calzaferri, Chairman of IPS-
10

Workshops
---------
The workshops at IPS-10 are designed to provide an opportunity to discuss the
results and scientific perspectives of a topic of your main interest in a
more detailed fashion. Four workshops will be held in parallel:
Thermodynamic aspects of solar energy conversion and photochemistry at
elevated
temperatures, quantum processes
A.J. Nozik, P. Wuerfel
Electron transfer in photosynthesis and biomimetic model compounds;
magnetic resonance studies
H. Kurreck, K. Mobius
Photoelectrochemistry and solar fuels
H. Tributsch. F. Willig
Photocatalysis in homogeneous and heterogeneous systems and environmental
aspects of photocatalytic systems
E. Pelizzetti, N. Serpone
Call for papers
---------------
Contributions from participants are encouraged. A book of abstracts will be
distributed at the conference. Abstracts of plenary lectures, evening
lectures, invited lectures and contributed papers must be sent <by mail or by
fax, and signed> to the conference secretariat of IPS-10, not later than
February 28, 1994. All authors will be notified by April 1994 of the decision
of the selection committee. Poster submission specifications will be sent to
all authors of accepted contributions. The instructions for preparation of the
abstracts are given in the enclosed guidelines.
Proceedings
-----------
The proceedings will be published about four months after the conference by
Elsevier Science Publishers in the journal Solar Energy Materials and Solar
Cells. Before and during the conference, participants can order the
proceedings
at the reduced price of CHF 35.00 which includes postage. After the
conference,
the proceedings have to be ordered direct from the publishers.
Posters
-------
The contributed posters will all be on display from Monday to Friday during
conference hours. The best poster will be awarded a prize based on scientific
content and quality of presentation.
Location
--------
The Thenth International Conference on Photochemical Conversion and Storage of
Solar Energy (IPS-10) will be held in the Conference Centre, Interlaken,
Switzerland.
