This one-day meeting represents a new initiative of the Swiss Photochemistry Section of the Swiss Chemical Society to promote the exchange within the photochemistry community in Switzerland.

This first annual 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.

Confirmed Speakers:

• Dr. Claire Richard, Université de Clermond-Ferrand, France, “Photochemistry of pesticides in different environments: from the application on plants to the release in surface waters”
• Prof. Dr. Fernando Rosario-Ortiz, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA,  "Photochemical formation of hydroxyl radical from wastewater derived organic matter"
• Prof. Dr. Davide Vione, Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy, “Photophysics and photochemistry of chromophoric dissolved organic matter in surface waters”
