The 28th IUPAC Symposium on Photochemistry continues a long tradition of conferences where experts in photochemistry in a broad sense exchange the latest results, and where scientists and engineers who use light in their research or application can pick up new ideas and strengthen their knowledge of the specifics of the interaction of light and matter.

https://photoiupac2022.amsterdam/

The scientific topics to be covered in the Symposium include areas of unparalleled impact in the world today. These include renewable energy sources, green chemistry, atmospheric photochemistry, single molecule microscopy and super resolution imaging. The latter are key for biosciences and trace analysis of proteins, nucleic acids, and small bioregulators. With more efficient light sources and means to collect solar energy, there is an on-going resurgence in the development of photochemical reactions using flow process, which are beginning to make an impact in an industrial context. This will be an excellent opportunity to engage scientists from pharmaceutical, materials, and other industries. The symposium will also cover advanced spectroscopic methods with increased time and space resolution and methods for analyzing complex samples.

19th Congress of the
European Society for Photobiology

30 August – 3 September 2021 | Salzburg, Austria

http://salzburg2021.photobiology.eu/

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the ESP Executive Committee and the Congress Organizing Committee, I cordially invite you to attend the 19th Congress of the European Society for Photobiology, which will be held over 4 days in Salzburg (Austria), from August 30 to September 3, 2021. As with past ESP congresses we are sure that this meeting will again provide a unique international forum for the dissemination of new research and technological development in the science of Photobiology. Attendees will find excellent opportunities for productive scientific discussions, exchange of new ideas and establishing new collaborations.

In addition to a wealth of parallel symposia covering a full range of themes in the Photobiological Sciences, we will have keynote and plenary lectures in exciting developing areas of photobiology, including a talk by the 2021 Young Investigator Awardee. There will be ample opportunity to contribute oral presentations, participate in interactive poster sessions, and meet participants from the industry. ESP provides a substantial fellowship scheme being launched to encourage the active participation of young scientists in the congress programme.

Salzburg, Austria’s most inspiring city, is an UNESCO world heritage site located on the banks of the Salzach river. Salzburg’s historic center is famous for its baroque architecture and for its cultural events, most prominently the Salzburg Festival, which will end immediately before the start of our congress. The congress venue will be the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Salzburg University, in walking distance from the city center. In addition to having a small airport of its own, Salzburg is served by Munich and Vienna International Airports to which it is conveniently connected by rail.

We sincerely thank our sponsors to whom this invitation is warmly extended. Full recognition of their contributions will be made at the meeting as well as in Congress literature and on our website.

I look forward to welcoming you in Salzburg, a wonderful place for a memorable meeting.

Franz Trautinger
ESP President

Via Rio Bianco 12, I-39042 Brixen/Bressanone, Italy

https://www.photobiology.eu/photobiology-school

With the the patronage of the University of Padova.

The purpose of the ESP Photobiology Schools is to provide an introductory overview of all main aspects of photobiology, presented by experts in each area. The intention is to cover the basic principles of photobiology and photochemistry of biomolecules as well as applications of such knowledge in understanding effects of climatic changes, influence of light on biological systems, applications of light in medicine and related purposes.
The Schools include basic lectures in each field that should be attended by all participants as well as optional special lectures in the same fields. The students have the opportunity to present their results at a poster session.
The course may act as a foundation for further research in the photobiological sciences. The attendants may be MSc- and PhD-students as well as others who would be interested in an overview of the photobiological sciences. However, the course is primarily designed for PhD students. After completion of the course an attendance certificate is provided to all the students. In addition, an optional short final test is offered at the end of the course and an exam certificate is provided after evaluation of the exam results. Passing the exam will entitle students to apply for the ESP supplement to the Ph.D. Degree.
Students are encouraged to submit an abstract of their research to be presented as a poster during the School. The posters will be evaluated by the lecturers and the School attendee with the best poster will be awarded a travel fellowship to present the poster at the next ESP Congress.

The school will cover the following areas:

• Photophysics and photochemistry;

• Biophotonics - Light dosimetry in biological tissues;

• UV (from cells to skin tissue, DNA damage, Vit. D effects);

• Photomedicine;

• PDT and fluorescence diagnosis;

• Photodermatology;

• Photosynthesis;

• Environmental photobiology;

• Photosensory biology.
