Call for oral abstracts – deadline 27 April 2015
 
We invite you to join us at Challenges in Chemical Renewable Energy (ISACS17), which will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 8-11 September 2015.
This conference will bring together leading scientists from across the world to share scientific developments in renewable energy generation and storage. The broad subject scope will provide an excellent overview of some of the key challenges within cutting edge aspects of this important, fast-moving research field, with plenty of opportunities for networking.
Themes include:
- Solar Fuels and molecular catalysis
- Photovoltaics
- Biofuels
- Battery technology and energy storage
- Fuel cells
Submit your abstract today via our submission system.
You can find more details about submitting your abstract here.
