25^th EASTERN REGIONAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS CONFERENCE

April 18-20, 2008
Marine Biological Laboratory
Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA

Colleagues:

On this site you will find all the information required to register for the upcoming conference to be held April 18 ^th to 20 ^nd at Marine Biology Laboratories at Woods Hole, MA. Kindly observe the deadlines for submission so that we have the reliable estimates of minimum registration.

To keep with the state-of-the-art in photosynthesis and address current and future needs for sustainable energy, we have expanded the focus of the Eastern Regional Photosynthesis Conference for this year. The supply of secure, clean, sustainable energy is the most important scientific and technical challenge facing the 21st century. Given the growing energy concerns and the need for development of solar energy capture, we are increasing the scope of this year’s conference to include industrial and applied topics on solar energy utilization. We have plenary lectures on basic research on solar energy utilization by leaders in both academia and industry:

1. Professor Dan Nocera, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. Roger Prince, Exxon Mobil Biomedical Sciences, will both speak to our expanded focus of solar energy utilization. The titles of the presentations will be posted on the ERPC-25 web site soon.

2. We are thrilled that Professor Bill Rutherford will deliver a plenary lecture at this conference. We thank Professor Harry Frank, and the University of Connecticut, who has invited him over the pond for a visit.

We have great line up of Silver Anniversary celebrations! On Saturday night, to commemorate our 25th conference there will be a lobster (and chicken or pasta) buffet with a special cake and that nights mixer will be open bar.

Additionally we will offer a $50 discount to students to celebrate their participation as the ERPC has traditionally been a meeting that supports increased participation by students and postdocs! The additional expenses are covered by generous sponsorships for the meeting. 

Best Regards.

Wade Johnson, Chair

K. V. Lakshmi, Co-Chair.
