The Workshop on Solar Energy Materials that will be held at the Ruđer Bošković Institute on 9-10 May 2019 will present an overview on current trends of novel materials and nano-structures for solar energy conversion. Recognized researchers from the Ruđer Bošković Institute and international institutions will give a set of keynote lectures on a variety of topics of current interest. The Workshop is primarily addressed to PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, but it is open to all the scientific community. Registered participants are encouraged to present their research in poster sessions.

The Workshop is organized in the framework of the project Plasmonic Alternative Materials for Solar Energy Conversion of the Croatian Science Foundation and the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund.
