This year ISOS will take place in the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 29th Sep to 1st Oct 2015 and will be co-located with the Brazilian Materials Research Society Meeting (from 27th Sep – Oct1st). This will be the first ISOS meeting held in Latin America, which timely coincides with large investments by the Brazilian Government to boost photovoltaic installations in the country.
ISOS has been running since 2008 and has become one of the most attended workshops in the field, bringing together an expert community both from industry and academia. Previous meetings were held yearly in the US and Europe and have led to numerous publications, including the so-called ISOS testing protocols for characterization of solar cell durability.
This year ISOS will cover all aspects of OPV and perovskite stability from degradation mechanisms to stable device architectures. Strong focus will be on industrial requirements and how this can be met by the research community. The program includes invited and contributed talks as well as round table discussions with academic and industrial researchers. At least half a day will be fully dedicated to industry and applications.
