We are excited to open the registration of the 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion and are looking forward to a successful on-site event where the global PV community can meet again in person after two long years of online events. You can expect an abundance of scientific presentations, discussions and countless opportunities to network. In the spirit of the global idea behind the WCPEC-8, the event offers a great deal of additional online features.
However, we want to emphasise that we look forward to meeting you all in person again as we are going back to being a classic local event.
Therefore, we highly encourage in-person participation also for guests, that are not actively presenting at the event. The online features are a great addition to the event, but cannot replace the multitude of networking opportunities, personal exchange and unforgettable impressions during the week. Please kindly note, that presenters and chairpersons must attend on-site.
Nevertheless, we are aware of uncertainties and concerns surrounding the development of the pandemic. While in-person participation is mandatory for speakers presenting their work, an exception may be granted in certain cases where travel restrictions still exist due to Covid-19. As we cannot foresee the development until September, the exceptions will be individually reviewed and approved by the Organising Committee shortly before the event, if proof of restrictions is provided. These exceptions are allowed to submit a pre-recorded presentation and are thus still eligible to have their work published.
