Thematic Workshop for PhD & Master Students: Photocatalysis for Air & Energy

September 8, 2025, 9:00 - 14:30 h

In connection with the CSIC Hub "Fotocatálisis", and as a preamble to the SP9 conference, a scientific workshop aimed at MSc and PhD students will take place. This topical workshop will cover the fundamentals of several aspects related to semiconductor photochemistry, with particular emphasis on air and energy applications. Attendance to the workshop will be free of charge, but registration is required.

Location

The thematic workshop will take place from 9:00 AM to 14:00 PM at the Instituto de Química Física Blas Cabrera (CSIC), C/Serrano, 119, Madrid, in the same campus as the CSIC Headquarters where the initial afternoon session of SP9 will take place.

Important Date

July 31, 2025: Online registration deadline for SP8 Thematic School
