The 9^th International Conference on Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE9-2024) will be held this year at the EnCN building in Fürtherstraße 250, Nuremberg, Germany, from December 10–12, 2024. Organized by Karen Forberich, Osbel Almora, Luigi Angelo Castriota and Christoph Brabec, this event will bring together leading experts and researchers in solar energy.

The final day of the conference, December 12, will host the 3^rd Emerging Photovoltaics (PV) workshop (ePVW3). This special session will feature the presentation of version 5 of the “Emerging PV Reports”, an annual survey to be published in Advanced Energy Materials. Attendees will gain insights into the latest advancements in emerging PV research, including keynote presentations from Edgardo Saucedo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), Carsten Rockstuhl (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), and Thomas Brown (University of Rome Tor Vergata).

The ePVW3 will also include the annual Emerging-PV initiative meeting, where participants will discuss recent progress and future directions. Topics will include enhancements to the Emerging PV website, new report sections in the “Emerging PV Reports”, applications of data science and AI, outreach strategies in social media and conferences, and further collaborative opportunities with industry and academia.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the forefront of solar energy research and development!
