VIII International Krutyn Summer School 2011,

Krutyn, Masurian Lake District, Poland,

June 14-20, 2011

"Frontiers in Organic, Dye-sensitised and Hybrid Solar Cells"

GENERAL INFORMATION & GOAL
This VIII International Krutyn Summer School – "Frontiers in Organic, Dye-sensitised and Hybrid Solar Cells" - is organized by the The University of Edinburgh, UK, Polish Supramolecular Chemistry Network Foundation, and the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland. The School is conceived as a high-level and highly intensive scientific event focusing on cutting-edge know-how on organic and hybrid solar cells.
This Summer School aims at the state-of-the-art training in the form of lectures and consulting sessions designed for Ph.D. students and young researchers seeking to reinforce their knowledge and skills in the field of solar cells science and technology. Top experts in this area will deliver lectures and consulting sessions. The school is intended both for people already active in this R&D field, as well as for those new to the field. A number of social events will be also proposed to relax after the heavily-scheduled programme, including: bonfire, boats on Krutynia River, guided or individual out-door activities (kayaking, trekking, horse-riding, bike, etc.). The Local Organizing Committee cordially invites you to take part in this Summer School.
VENUE The School will be held in a picturesque and romantic summer resort – the village Krutyn – in Masurian Lake District, easily accessible from Warsaw. The Conference Centre “MAZUR-SYRENKA” provides an excellent conference and accommodation services.

LIMITED PARTICIPATION NUMBER
In order to meet our quality requirements, the number of participants (excluding the lecturers) is limited to 70, therefore please, register as early as possible. A waiting list will be installed.
