In the last decade, the rise of organic-inorganic lead metal halide perovskite has led to significant change in research direction of the whole photovoltaic community. What makes perovskite particularly promising as light-harvesting semiconductor due to its facile synthesis using simple deposition techniques and low manufacturing cost. Additionally, there are a large variety of organic-inorganic combinations available and therefore, suitable dimensionalities (3D to 0D) and bandgaps. This symposium aims to bring together leading experts from around the world to discuss fundamental advantages of perovskite, including the influence of organic A-cations, optimization of manufacturing processes, versatility of thin film deposition (solution and evaporation films), lead-free perovskite, advances in stability. Perovskite offers remarkable properties suitable for numerous applications in thin-film technology. Particularly, this symposium includes, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, memristors, and other emerging applications. Furthermore, the development of multi-junction solar cells, as well as advancements in scale-up preparation for in-door and out-door applications, are bringing this promising technology one step closer to commercialization. Finally, to achieve climate-neutrality and sustainability, it is imperative to prioritize circular technology. This entails reducing the consumption of raw materials, promoting recycling processes, and ultimately, cutting production costs.

Topics will include:

• Low-dimensional perovskites
• Lead-free perovskite
• Photophysics
• Optimal manufacturing processes
• Durability
• Tandem
• Sustainability and bankability
