T

he International “Materials for Renewable Energy” School 2014, co-organized by the Materials Research Society (MRS) and the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), will be held on July 12–18, 2014 in Erice (Sicily, Italy). The aim of the School is to present the state of the art and the future perspectives for materials applied to the generation and storage of renewable and sustainable energy.

The deadline for registration is June 15, 2014. Lectures will be given by some of the most recognized academic and industrial experts, merging physics, chemistry, and engineering knowledge in several fields. A general overview of the global energy landscape will be presented by discussing also conventional energy sources and next-generation nuclear production. Topics of the School include the
