SCOPE & TOPICS

The purpose of the PHRS series is to provide a forum for students, postdoctoral fellows, and scientists from different countries to deepen their knowledge and understanding, broaden their professional contacts, create new opportunities, and establish new collaborations.

The scientific program will cover the breadth and depth of photosynthesis and hydrogen energy systems, from fundamental research aspects to practical application.
