The SINATRA Research Initiative of the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space accompanies young group leaders in the fields of photoelectrochemistry, material science and hydrogen production on their way to tenure.
The First SINATRA Status Conference will provide an excellent platform for scientific exchange between experts from academic groups and industry. We invite industry, research institutions and universities to share and discuss their work and learn about the latest developments on November 17th and 18th in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).
This meeting will provide an exceptional opportunity to present and discuss current research on relevant topics and to identify synergies.
Main topics will be:
· Electrochemical Processes and Photochemistry
· Materials for Photo(electro)chemical Hydrogen Production
· Biogenic Hydrogen Production
Participants from further fields within the spectrum of artificial synthesis and novel approaches to hydrogen production are equally welcome.
Plenary lectures given by international renowned scientists, a poster award and a conference dinner will provide the framework for stimulating discussions and networking.
We look forward to welcoming you to the first SINATRA Status Conference in Frankfurt!
Participation is free of charge.
