The 3rd International Solar Fuels Conference (ISF-3)
International Conference on Artificial Photosynthesis-2019(ICARP2019) (November 20th-24th, 2019)
We wish to welcome you all to participate in the above-mentioned conference to be heldin Hiroshima, Japan from November 20th to November 24th, 2019.

Aim of the conferenceThis conference combines two conferences ISF-3 and ICARP2019, both of which follow
the previous two conferences ISF-2 held in July 6th-10th, 2017 in UC San Diego, USA,and ICARP2017 held in March 2th-5th, 2017 in Kyoto, Japan. This conference will
provide an excellent platform for presenting state-of-the-art results, discussions andexchange of ideas in all areas related to natural and artificial photosynthesis. Specifically,topics of interest include but are not limited to: Artificial photosynthetic systems including water-oxidation, H2 production, CO2reduction
 Molecular photocatalysts and semiconductor photocatalysts
 Light harvesting and photochemical charge separation
 Mechanisms of natural photosynthesis
 Biofuels from photosynthesis and biomass energy Photobioreactors
 Photoelectrochemistry and photobiology
This conference will be preceded by a two-days conference ISF-3-Young fromNovember 19th to November 20th, 2019 in the same venue, organized and participatedby young scientists and students in the above fields for the presentation, communicationand exchange of ideas among the young scientists, to promote their researches and careers
in the above and related fields.

Convention

Hall(http://www.hir.conventionhall.jp/english.html) (address: 3-5-4, Futabanosato, Eastdistrict, Hiroshima-shi, Hiroshima, Japan) located within 5-min walking distance ofHiroshima-station, Hiroshima-city, Japan. Hiroshima is one of the major cities in Japan,
with 2.5 hours by trains (including an express train Shinkansen) from Osaka International
Airport, and also connected by air to major cities in Japan and several international cities.

Hiroshima is known for the home of two world heritages, the Atomic Bomb Domeand the Itsukushima-Jinja (Shrine). Here you will also find other Japanese traditionalspots such as Hiroshima Castle, in combination with the Japanese modern cultures. The
local foods such as “Hiroshima-Kaki” (oyster) and “Okonomi-yaki” are among those
items that cannot be missed.
