2. Dear Sponsor,on behalf of the European Society for Photobiology(ESP) and the Local and Scientific Organizing
Committees we cordially invite you to participate in the 19th Congress of the European Societyfor Photobiology, which will be based in Salzburg(Austria) and held in the virtual space from August
30 to September 3, 2021. As with past ESP congresses we are sure that this meeting will again
provide a unique international forum for the dissemination of new research, technological development and application in the photobiologicalsciences.
Entrance area NAWI © Universität Salzburg

A full range of topics (see below) will be coveredby the leading experts in their fields in parallel symposia, interactive poster sessions, as well as keynote
and plenary lectures on exciting developing areas, including a talk by the 2021 ESP Young InvestigatorAwardee. ESP provides a substantial fellowship scheme to encourage the active participation of young
scientists in our programme. Attendees from academia and industry will thus find excellent opportunities
for productive scientific discussion, exchange of new ideas and collaboration. With all associated shortcomings, the "virtual" format will allow us to reach an evenwider range of experts world-wide.
A leading conference in the field, the event can only become a success with active participation and support from the industry! On the following pages we will provide all information you need to find the sponsoring opportunity most suitable for you. For updates please visit us at https://salzburg2021.photobiology.eu
or contact us directly (see contact details below). We will be happy to tailor our sponsorship options to fit
your specific requests! Needless to say that full recognition of your contributions will be made directly at
the meeting as well as in the congress literature and on our website.
We thank you for your support and look forward to welcoming you at our congress. We will do our best tomake the virtual space a wonderful place for a memorable meeting.

3. About ESP Congresses
For the very first time in its long-standing history the ESP 2021 congress will be held as virtual event, featuring pre-recorded and life online presentations with options for interactive discussion. This way, we will
provide a forum for scientific exchange between top researchers and young scientists in photobiology,
photomedicine and photochemistry from all over the world without the need to travel.
As a sponsor of this unique event your company will be given the opportunity to:
d promote your innovative products online to make your brands visible to your target audience.
d integrate your products in innovative science.
d get in touch and build a relationship with your customers.
d establish new collaborations between your company and academic researchers and institutions.
d communicate with present and future key leaders in photobiology from around the globe.
d share and communicate your achievements in research and development.
d capture the latest scientific content relevant to your research and training programmes.

PARTICIPANTS:
The attendance is expected to exceed 350 participants from academia as well as industry, including key
experts in all fields of photobiology as well as early career scientists and students. ESP conferences attract
