At CIMTEC 2010–a multiple symposia gathering on new technologies and materials for various fields–one of the symposia in the 5th International Forum of New Materials is on the subject of “Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conversion: Materials and Technology Challenges.” It will be held 13-18 June 2010 in Montecatini Terme, Italy. One of the four areas for which papers/presentations are invited is “thin-film photovoltaics.” Another is “PV devices, modules, systems and applications.” This may tie-in nicely with recent integrations between exposed geomembrane caps and thin-film solar laminates. Also, another symposium at CIMTEC will be “Materials Technology for Nuclear Waste Treatment and Disposal.” This marks another important area in which geosynthetic capping systems are being used. Abstracts will be accepted through 7 November 2009. Download the PDF brochure with details on each symposium.
