International Workshop on Charge Transport and Excited State Processes in Organic Materials – Thomas Young Centre London; 21th to 25th June 2021. 

The call for abstracts for short lightning talks and registration (without abstracts) are open until 14th May and 13th June 2021, respectively. Please visit blumberger.net/iwom-2020 for further information.

The scope of this workshop in the area of organic materials for electronic applications is to bring together theorists and computational and experimental scientists working on approaches across different length scales (from molecular to device-level) towards the understanding of phenomena and mechanisms inherent to the function of organic semiconducting materials. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of current state-of-the-art advances on this research field, covering pertinent issues such as electronic structure methods for excited states calculations, charge transport mechanisms in bulk and nanostructured interfacial systems, energy conversion through light harvesting, and light generation via recombination processes.

Focus will be placed on the following topics:

- Charge transport in organic materials

- Exciton transport, dissociation, and recombination in organic materials

- Recent advances in excited state calculations

- Multi-scale modelling of organic materials

Confirmed keynote speakers:

- Irene Burghardt, Goethe University Frankfurt

- Sir Richard Friend, University of Cambridge

- Henning Sirringhaus, University of Cambridge

- Weitao Yang, Duke University
