European Photochemistry Association: Call for Nominations From Members
The Porter Medal 2016
Deadline for nominations: 31st January 2016
The Porter Medal is awarded every two years to the scientist who, in the opinion of the European Photochemistry Association, the Inter-American Photochemistry Association and the Asian and Oceania Photochemistry Association has contributed most to the subject of Photochemistry.
Named for the late George Porter FRS, Nobel Laureate the Porter Medal is awarded to the scientist who in the opinion of the judges, has contributed most the science of Photochemistry with emphasis on more physical matters, thus reflecting George Porter’s own interests.
To nominate European candidates for the Porter Medal 2016 candidates should preferably be sent directly to the President of the European Photochemistry Association. Dr David Worral . The nomination package should include.
Curriculum Vitae of the candidate
A list of publications
A citation for the award, not exceeding five pages in length
Two letters of reference
For the nomination of candidates from other continents, please see the Porter Medal Webpage: www.portermedal.com

Annual Meeting of the Swiss Photochemistry Section, Sep 8, 2015
On behalf of the Swiss Photochemistry Section I would like to draw your attention to a new initiative of our Section. Starting this year, we will organize a one-day meeting to promote the exchange within the photochemistry community in Switzerland.
This year’s
Annual Meeting of the Swiss Photochemistry Section 2015
will take place on 8 September 2015 at ETH Zürich.
Organizer: Prof. Kris Mc Neill, ETH Zürich
Co-organizer: Dr. Silvio Canonica, Eawag, Dübendorf
The meeting will comprise scientific contributions from any area of photochemistry as well as three invited lectures on the topic of Environmental Photochemistry. We envision that future meetings will feature different topics chosen by the host site organizers. The General Assembly of the Section will also take place during the meeting.
For more details please visit the website of the SPS Annual Meeting 2015.
