The research, development, demonstration and commercialization in these two principal fields have attracted global interest from academia, government research laboratories and industry. In recent years, engineering firms have been paying considerable attention to these developments. Accordingly, a conference that covers and merges recent developments in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion is urgently needed. To this end, the "20th International Conference on Semiconductor Photocatalysis and Solar Energy Conversion (SPASEC-20) is being organized with principal objectives to bring together interested parties from universities, research institutions and industry to exchange information, views, experience and perspectives. This conference will present the most current findings generated at laboratories of Universities and Research Institutions, as well as in the field by the practitioners. Abstracts are being solicited in the following related areas: Semiconductor Photochemistry, Photoelectrochemistry and Photocatalysis, in particular for Environmental Applications (Water Treatment, Air Treatment, Selfcleaning, Disinfection, Anti-corrosion Effects, etc..) Development of Materials and Nanomaterials (Photocatalyst Preparation, Doping and Co-doping, Spectral Range Broadening for Solar Application, Photocatalyst-sorbent combination, novel supports for photocatalysts, etc.). Molecular and Nanostructured Solar Cells Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells; Fuel Cells Solar Fuel Production (e.g. H2, CH4, etc.) Dynamics of Photo-Induced Energy and/or Electron Transfer

8 Fundamental investigations into Semiconductors and Nanostructures (Mechanistic Studies, Modeling, Microchemical Systems,, etc.) Biomedical Applications of Semiconductors (Sunscreens, Photodynamic Therapy, Risk Assessment of Nanomaterials, etc.) Technological, Environmental and Commercial Issues (Standardization, Technology Transfer, Life Cycle Assessment, Intellectual Property, Management and Economics) Process Development (Integration of Photocatalysis with other Technologies, Photocatalytic Lithography) Call for Abstracts Scientists, engineers, and business professionals who are interested in SPASEC-20 are invited to submit abstracts of up to 500 words in English describing their work. All abstracts are due by Tuesday, June 30, In addition to the invited lectures (25 minutes each) listed above, additional abstracts will be chosen for short talks (15 minutes each) and the rest of abstracts will be presented in the poster session. Each poster will have 1.2 m x 1.2 m of display space. Guidelines to Prepare Abstracts Please follow the following guidelines in preparing your abstract(s): Type single space using, if possible, Times New Roman 12-point font (preferred); Keep all material within a one-inch margin on all sides; The title should be typed in boldface (Title Case, 14- points) centered at the top of the page; Leave a double space between the title and the names of the author(s); The names of the authors should be typed in boldface in single space, followed by the addresses of the authors in single space; underline the name of the presenting author; Leave a double space between the end of the addresses and the opening paragraphs; Abstracts should be sent, in Microsoft Word format, to Dr. Hussain Al-Ekabi ( hussain@alekabi.com). Call for Exhibits Companies conducting business related to the themes of SPASEC-20 are invited to exhibit their products and/or services. Exhibits will be displayed throughout the conferences in a central area near the registration desks, coffee breaks, poster sessions and lecture rooms. The cost of an 8-ft x 10-ft exhibiting space is $1,750.00US if payment is received on or before Tuesday, June 30, 2015, and $2,000.00US if payment is received after that date.

9 Registration The deadline for the early registration is Tuesday, June 30, The on-site registration for the conference is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, November 15, 2015 between 2:00 7:00pm. All registration fees are set in US dollars. The registration fees can be paid either by credit cards (Visa, Master Card or American Express) or by Encoded Checks in US funds drawn on a US bank account made payable to Redox Technologies, Inc. Payment made by Visa will be converted, at our end, into their equivalents in US Dollars using the exchange rate of Bank of Canada. Payments made by a Master Card or an American Express Card will be converted, at our end, into their equivalents in Canadian dollars using also the exchange rate of Bank of Canada. As a result, depending on the fluctuation of the exchange rate and potential fees that your credit card financial institution may apply for the conversion, payments by credit card may turn to be slightly higher than the actual amount stated on the registration form. Participants are also allowed to pay by cash for on-site registration only. Meeting Site and Accommodation SPASEC 20/AOTs-21 will be held at the Crowne Plaza of San Diego, California, USA. A block of rooms with discounted conference rates has been reserved for the participants until Wednesday, October 28, The block is reserved under Redox Technologies, Inc. The rate is $110US for a single-bed or double bed rooms. For online reservation please click on the link: It will take you directly to the block of Redox Technologies, Inc.
