Aug. 8, 2010

ISSCG-14 • International Summer School on Crystal Growth • Venue: Dalian, China • Date: 1 to 7 August 2010 • Registration for ISSCG-14 to be completed by 1 May 2010

SCOPE OF ICCG16 • The 16th International Conference on Crystal Growth (ICCG-16) will be held together with the 14th International Conference on Vapor Growth and Epitaxy (ICVGE-14) in Beijing, China. The conference site is Beijing International Convention Center in walking distance to the Beijing National Stadium (Bird Nest) built for the 29th Summer Olympics. This conference will provide an ideal forum for the presentations and discussions of recent developments and achievements in all respects of crystal growth with various sessions integrating fundamental, experimental and industrial growth processes, characterization and applications. It helps to stimulate the review of historical theory and the practice to test new ideas in informal social activities. The current worldwide society has a great demand to photovoltaic based renewable energy.

One of the key elements in photovoltaic industry is the growth of materials using improved or newly developed crystal growth technologies through understanding new phenomena arising from the needs for the growth of cost effective and high quality materials. To seek a sustainable, energy saving and /or cooperative society we strongly feel it is our responsibility to promote the international crystal growth society through playing the vital role in the development of new crystal growth technologies. The conference includes both oral and poster sessions, as well as plenary and invited talks to provide broad visions of developments in different fields. The official language will be English.

SLOGAN OF ICCG-16 Crystal Growth: For Curiosity and Utility, from Art to Science!

PUBLICATION OF PROCEEDINGS The proceedings of the ICCG-16 and ICVGE-14 will be published as a special issue of the Journal of Crystal Growth.
