He succeeds Silvio Canonica who served as president for eight years and who will stay in the board as member for another term to ensure continuity. 

We like to welcome Olivier Nicolet as new president and thanks Silvio Canonica for leading the section for so many years. Thanks a lot, Silvio!

Members of the Photochemistry Board 2018-2020:

  • Olivier Nicolet, HES-SO Fribourg − President 
  • Silvio Canonica, Eawag Dübendorf − Member (Past-President)
  • Kurt Dietliker, ETH Zürich − Member 
  • Tatu Kumpulainen, University of Geneva − Member (new) 
  • Oliver Wenger, University of Basel − Member 

Olivier Nicolet will start a survey asking all Photochemistry Section members what they think about possible future activities of the Section. This survey will include questions about the organization of a scientific meeting, and the most appropriate time frames to hold such a meeting and the General Assembly.

We were very selective with what we accepted, or even sent out for peer review, to ensure a high quality from the start and I think this will pay off in the future.

At it's Annual Meeting at University of Zürich, Irchel Campus on September 15, 2016, the Photochemistry Section of the SCS confirmed and elected the following board members for 2017 onwards:

  • Silvio Canonica, Eawag Dübendorf − President (continuing)
  • Pierre Brodard, HES-SO Fribourg − Member (continuing)
  • Kurt Dietliker, BASF Basel − Member (continuing)
  • Olivier Nicolet, HES-SO Fribourg − Member (new)
  • Oliver Wenger, University of Basel − Member (new)

The Executive Committee will try and promote the organization of one-day photochemistry symposia on different topics and in different host institutions on a yearly basis. Ideas are gathered to possibly improve the concept, preparation, announcement and participation in such yearly scientific meetings. The Executive Committee will look for suitable hosts of such a meeting in 2017.

If you are interested in the complete minutes, please send a mail to Silvio Canonica ().

5th HRSMC Photochemistry Summerschool on "Photochemistry, Fundamentals and Applications".

August 27-31, 2016. Maastricht, The Netherlands

Dear Colleague

It is our great pleasure to announce our 5th HRSMC Photochemistry Summerschool on "Photochemistry, Fundamentals and Applications".

An advanced course covering various aspects of Photochemistry.

This school is the fifth in a series organised every four years by the Holland Research School of Molecular Chemistry, a cooperation between the Chemistry Departments of the University of Amsterdam, Leiden University, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, under the auspices of the European Photochemistry Association.

This postgraduate school is intended for PhD students, Postdocs and interested scientists active in the field of Photochemistry, and for those who make use of photochemical or photo physical methods in their research. Specialised lectures by international experts will be preceded by a brief recapitulation of the basic aspects of molecular photochemistry and photo physics:

  • Gary Brudvig: Solar Fuels
  • Paola Ceroni: Supramolecular Photochemistry and Luminescence
  • Edith Glaser: Inorganic Photochemistry for Therapy
  • Stefan Hecht: Efficient phototransformations
  • Johan Hofkens: Biophysical Chemistry and Microscopy
  • Massimo Olivucci: Computational Photochemistry

A guest lecture on Photolithography will be delivered by Dr. Roel Gronheid (IMEC, Leuven, Belgium)

Early Bird Registration until June 16, 2016.

Members of the European Photochemistry Association (EPA) will receive a 20 Euros discount on the fee of our School.

Please check out our website

Kind regards.
