Congratulations to the poster prize winner and runners up at the 9^th International Mesostructured Material Symposium, which took place at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, Australia, from 17^th-20^th August 2015.

The overall aim of the symposium was to foster discussion on developments in the synthesis and characterization of mesostructured materials for a wide range of applications, such as energy storage and conversion, biological technology, catalytic and environmental applications, and gas separation and purification.

Many congratulations to the poster and presentation prize winners at the Annual Meeting onPhotochemistry of Coordination Compounds, held by the Photofunctional Complexes Research Association in Niigata, Japan from the 7^th-9^th August 2015.

For her presentation on “An Interfacial Europium Complex on SiO₂ Nanoparticles for Valence-Controlled Emission System”, Ayumi Ishii (Aoyama Gakuin University) was awarded the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Presentation prize. Ryohsuke Ohno (Hokkaido University) was presented with the Journal of Materials Chemistry A Poster prize for his entry entitled “A luminescent Eu(III) complex: Novel design and synthesis strategies for the extended pi-conjugated system of ligands and their optical properties”.

ISNA-16 poster prize winners

Many congratulations to the poster prize winners at the 16^th International Symposium on Novel Aromatic Compounds (ISNA-16) conference which took place from the 5th – 10th July in Madrid, Spain. Recipients of the poster prizes which were jointly sponsored by our journals: Nanoscale, Journal of Materials Chemistry A and C were: Hiroya Oshima (Nagoya University, Japan), Xiao-Ye Wang (Max Planck Institute, Germany), Evan Darzi (University of Oregon, USA), Takashi Hirose (Kyoto University, Japan) and Daniel R. Kohn (University of Oxford, UK).

Our recently appointed Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B and C: Nazario Martín attended and acted as the symposium Chairman.

The symposium was founded in 1970 by Prof. T. Nozoe, who discovered the first non-benzenoid aromatic compound, hinokitiol, in Taipei. The program of the symposium included the Nozoe memorial lecture, plenary lectures, invited lectures, oral communications, and poster presentations.

A big congratulations to our student and postdoctoral poster prize winners at this year’s KAUST Solar Future Meeting!

Elisa Collado (Imperial College London) and Johannes Wilder (Institute For Applied Photophysics, Dresden University of Technology) were both first place student and post doc poster prize winners with Alexander Hyla (KAUST) and Taesoo Kim (KAUST) as the respective runner-ups.

The meeting took place at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology from the 8th – 11th November 2014 and gathered together some of the main contributors in photovoltaic (PV) research across the scientific community and involved three days of invited presentations and poster sessions, spanning the three major rapidly-emerging areas of “Polymer and Small-molecule Organic PV”, “Quantum Dot PV”, and “Perovskite PV”.
