You are invited to participate in the 4th international Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics, from 6 to 9 May 2012, in the beautiful and historical city of Uppsala, Sweden.

Solar energy has the largest potential to satisfy the future global need for renewable energy sources. The main topics of this 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 commercial development. The HOPV12 conference will provide a great opportunity for scientists and engineers around the world for discussions of the latest developments in hybrid and organic photovoltaics.

The conference will be led by world leading invited speakers covering a broad range of the latest scientific advances 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. Special attention is given to the poster contributions. The posters will be mounted during the whole conference time and there will be a poster award.
