International Conference on Photochemistry
The International Conference on Photochemistry remains one of the most important scientific events for the international photochemical community. It is held every two years in world renowned education and research environnement. Past editions have been hosted, among others, in Strasbourg (France), Jeju Island ( Korea) or Leuven (Belgium). Each edition gathered hundreds of participants from all around the world thus providing a highly stimulating networking environnement.

IUPAC International Symposium on Photochemistry
The International Symposium on Photochemistry remains one of the most important scientific events for the international photochemical community. Over the years, participation in the Symposium has included a healthy number of delegates from North America, Asia, and Europe, with a smaller but sustained participation of delegates from Australia and New Zealand, Africa and Latin America. The IUPAC symposium in Photochemistry brings together many of the world experts in various scientific areas and strongly encourages the participation of younger scientists, postdocs and students. The scientific topics to be covered in the Symposium include areas of unparalleled impact in the world today.
