Séminaire hors-ville 3e cycle en chimie

Over the past decades, photochemistry has evolved from the status of new area of chemistry to that of matured field of science. As most of the basic concepts and principles of photophysics and photochemistry are now quite well understood, this field has expanded in many different directions. This has also been stimulated by the impressive developments in instrumentation, synthetic methods and computer performances. As a consequence, it is nowadays possible to observe phenomena or to perform experiments that a photochemist could have only dreamed of 20 years ago.

The aim of this Summer School is to give the participants an overview of some of the frontiers in photochemistry. The invited speakers are internationally renown for actively pushing forward these frontiers. Their domain of excellence is complementary and covers a very wide range of research going from theoretical to industrial photochemistry.

Organized on behalf of the CUSO and the 3e Cycle, this School is intended not only for chemists specialised in photochemistry but also for any scientists interested in this fascinating field. To be sure that all participants enjoy and take maximum profit from all lectures, a short introduction course on the basics of photochemistry and photophysics will be proposed at the beginning of the School.
