Symposium: Photovoltaics, Solar Energy Materials and Thin Films

Invitation

On behalf of my colleagues, and the International advisory committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend the Symposium "Photovoltaics, Solar Energy Materials & Thin Films" at the annual meeting of MRS-Mexico, 16-20 August 2009. The XVIII International Materials Research Congress (IMRC 2009) will be held at Cancun, one of the finest Caribbean destinations. So I hope you and your companions will get an exciting experience of the white sands and the blue ocean during your stay in Cancun.

The technical program includes tutorial course, invited talks, oral and poster sessions. The tutorial course “Photovoltaics and Solar Energy Materials” will be offered on 16 August 2009 from 10.00 to 17.00.

Cancun is connected with direct flights from major cities of US and Europe. Marriot Casa Magna has discount rates for conference participants, and I urge you to reserve your hotel rooms and register for the conference to receive the early bird rate.

We are organizing this symposium since 2003, and today it is one of the largest symposia at the annual meeting of MRS-Mexico, attracting scientists, professors and students from different countries. I am happy to inform you that this year Photovoltaics symposium is co-organized by MRS.

We hope this conference will give you the opportunity to meet the experts, colleagues and friends from all over the world. Please join us at Cancun, discuss the frontiers of photovoltaics research, enhance your thoughts, enjoy our hospitality and make this event a memorable one.

Organizing Committee Chairman
