Nanotechnology Innovation for Photovoltaics:
Nano4PVs co-organized with EU "PV Cluster 3"

The “Nanotechnology Innovation for Photovoltaics - Nano4PVs” Special Workshop is organized for second year in the frame of NANOTEXNOLOGY and focuses on the nanotechnology innovative ideas and methods applied in Photovoltaics.NANOTEXNOLOGY 2013 combines “Nano4PVs” Special Workshop with the ISFOE13 Workshop on Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) and gives a state-of-the-art overview as well as all the innovative aspects on photovoltaics. This Special Workshop is co-organised with the Cluster 3 "Third generation PV cells" of the NMP, ENERGY, ICT and RIS projects of the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

The Nano4PVs Special Workshop aims to:
- Bring New Ideas from the Nanotechnology research community to the forefront for the future PVs,
- Reveal the PV R&D innovation in Europe & the Nanotechnology impact on the 3rd Generation PVs,
- Enable closer collaboration, joint activities and strategic partnerships between the Nanotechnology and PV research communities and PV Industry,
- Give a detailed overview of the achievements of the FP7 NMP, ICT and ENERGY European projects on Photovoltaics,
- Contribute to research priorities for PVs in HORIZON 2020,
- Set-up the Nanotechnology Roadmap for the next generation PVs.
The Workshop topics include:

• 3^rd Generation Photovoltaic Cells
• Nanodots or nanowires based PVs
• Organic & Dye-Sensitized Photovoltaic Cells
• Plasmonic PV Cells
• Innovative nanostructures for future Photovoltaic Cells
• Thin Film PVs
