Progress in the Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) Technology relies critically on collaborative research and development activities within a very broad field of disciplines, including organic chemistry, material developments and device engineering. It is therefore crucial for young researchers interested in this emerging technology to have access to advanced multidisciplinary training.
The first International Summer School on Organic Photovoltaics in the Upper-Rhine Valley, organized by the Rh(e)in-Solar Project Consortium, contributes to the education of young scientists by offering a series of lectures that cover all aspects from the design of new organic molecules to the continuous production of OPV modules.
