The International Workshop on Next Generation Solar Cells Towards
Practical Applications for Celebrating the 15th Anniversary ofSPD Laboratory
In June 2004, the SPD Laboratory, Inc., Japan has been established for dealing with the R&D on
thin film formation and next generation solar cells by Dr. S. Kaneko just after retired from
Shizuoka University. Fortunately the interchange between young scientists experienced in study
abroad to Japan and us has been increasing through our ideas and products. The international
workshop on next generation solar cells will be held in celebration of the SPD Laboratory 15thanniversary, as shown below.
