    \"\"The APSRC provides a regional forum for communicating research outcomes covering all aspects of solar-related research: PV devices, concentrating solar thermal, deployment & integration, solar heating & cooling as well as solar fuels and chemistry. With the theme of information, communication and integration, the conference provides a great opportunity for young researchers and professionals to share knowledge and network with the region’s leading innovators from industry and research institutions.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

    The conference also provides a unique opportunity to combine the annual research reviews of Australia\u2019s key solar research groups, representing researchers from around the region. (Image credit<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n
