Dear colleagues, website (

Dear colleagues,
after the first invitation sent in July it is our great pleasure to announce launching of the
website (isppcc2015.pl) of the forthcoming 21st International Symposium on the
Photophysics and Photochemistry of Coordination Compounds (ISPPCC 21), which
will be held from 5 to 9 July 2015 in Krakow, Poland. This is part of a biannual series of
conferences which started in the 1970s. The last meetings of the series were held in
Sapporo (Japan, 2009), Strasbourg (France, 2011) and Traverse City (USA, 2013).
The conference is organized jointly by the Faculty of Chemistry, Jagiellonian University
in Kraków and Academic Centre for Materials and Nanotechnology, AGH University of
Science and Technology.
The 21st ISPPCC will cover the following topics:
- photophysics
- light emitting molecular materials
- biosystems
- solar energy conversion and photocatalysis
- coordination photochemistry
- inorganic nanoparticles
- molecular-scale photonic devices
The conference will bring an opportunity of discussions and exchange of ideas for
experienced researchers, graduate and undergraduate students.
Plenary lectures, oral communication and poster sessions will present the cutting-edge
problems of photochemistry and photophysics of inorganic systems.
Registration will be open in December 2014.
We look forward to welcome you in Kraków!
On behalf of the 21st ISPPCC Organizing Committee,
Wojciech Macyk

We kindly invite you to the 21st International Symposium
on the Photophysics and Photochemistry of Coordination
Compounds. This is part of a biannual series of conferences
which started in the 1970s. The last meetings of the series
were held in Sapporo (Japan), Strasbourg (France) and
Traverse City (USA). For the forthcoming symposium we will
welcome you in Kraków – the Royal Capital of Poland.
The 21st ISPPCC will cover the following topics:
- photophysics
- light emitting molecular materials
- biosystems
- solar energy conversion and photocatalysis
- coordination photochemistry
- inorganic nanoparticles
- molecular-scale photonic devices
The conference will bring an opportunity of discussions
and exchange of ideas for experienced researchers, graduate
and undergraduate students.
Plenary lectures, oral communication and two poster
sessions will present the cutting-edge problems of
photochemistry and photophysics of inorganic systems.
Accessibility and accommodation
Kraków is easily accessible by plane. There is an
international airport (www.krakowairport.pl) with several direct
connections with major European cities (Munich, Frankfurt,
Paris, London, Berlin, Warsaw, Rome, Vienna and many
others). The airport is localized 12 km from the city center.
Kraków has also a good train connection with Warsaw
(ca. 3 h) and bus connection with Katowice airport (ca. 1.5 h).
The city offers numerous hotels of various standards,
giving a choice between luxurious and economic rooms. This
flexibility of choice should enable participation of a broad
society of photochemists and photophysicists (students, postdocs, professors). The list of hotels will be available at the
conference’s webpage. Furthermore, there will be a limited
number of rooms in student dormitories accessible, at very
affordable prices (ca. 15 €/night).
Registration will open in December 2014.
