SUMMARY:RSC Photochemistry Group Meeting
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/129590
DESCRIPTION:The RSC Photochemistry Interest Group meeting is set to bring together the photochemistry community in the UK and Ireland to showcase recent developments across interests of areas from fundamental photochemistry and photophysics of molecular, supramolecular structures and materials, theoretical photochemistry and advanced spectroscopic techniques to devices, solar fuels and solar cells and photochemistry for healthcare applications. \n
 This meeting builds upon the success of the biennial Photochemistry Researchers meeting held at Trinity College in 2011, Belfast in 2013 and Newcastle in 2015.\n
Location
 Haworth building (Y2 on the University map [PDF])\n
