11th – 13th September 2007
Over
150 members of the Dye Solar Cell community have registered
for the DSC-IC conference next week.
This is your last chance to register for this special
conference where academia, research institutions, industry
and users come together to share their developments and
successes in DSC technology.
Some
highlights of the sessions
The
DSC Industrialisation Conference
highlights worldwide progress in DSC development.
This tome we are fortunate to have presentations form China,
Korea and Thailand. Professor
Dai, one of the most experienced researchers in DSC, will
present the recent developments in the second phase of the
Chinese product development programme at CAS IPP.
Dr Nam-Gyu Park who organised the very successful DSC
symposium in Korea, will present the progress from the
laboratories in Korea.
Dr Chanchana Thanachayanont
from NSTDA Thailand will explain their substantial
commercially oriented program.
A
‘must attend’ will be the future of DSC by Gavin Tulloch
on Thursday morning. Gavin
will, as usual, present a lively anecdotal resume of past
present and future of DSC. He will provide a SWOT review of
the opportunities and challenges facing DSC and propose a ‘DSC
scorecard’ highlighting the worldwide progress in the
18 months since the first DSC-IC.
