17^th International Conference on Photochemical Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy

The development and sustainable management of natural resources for energy and environmental purposes continues to grow in both relevance and importance, with solar-based technologies playing a significant role in addressing these issues. The biennial International Conference on Photochemical Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy (IPS) series attracted over 390 delegates and provided an excellent forum for academic and industry personnel to gather and exchange knowledge and ideas in related fields.

The 17^th International Conference on Photochemical Conversion and Storage of Solar Energy was hosted for the first time in Sydney, Australia, from the 27^th July to 1^st August, 2008 and held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, located in the picturesque Darling Harbour. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials, Centre of Excellence for Photovoltaics and Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials have united in an effort to maintain the high quality delivered by previous IPS events.
