When
6th and 7th December 2011
Where
New Law, Theatre 101, The University of Sydney
Scope
The Symposium will focus on the role of optics and photonics in clean energy generation, energy conservation and monitoring, and environmental sensing.
Topics will include energy generation through photovoltaics and photothermal technology, energy conservation through more energy efficient photonics-based technology or monitoring of energy consumption, and environmental sensing.
