Sponsors
SCELL-2004 will become one of the Major International Conferences in the field, and due
to this it has attracted the attention of major international companies and publishers.
There will be some Sponsorship opportunities available at SCELL-2004, and they will be
provided on a first come first served basis.
Why sponsorship?
Physics is the basis for many major improvements in human welfare,
health. Results from applied physics research benefit the whole community in direct and
tangible ways, not just those directly involved in physics as a science. To assure the
best possible Conference we need world leaders in the field of Photoltaics Materials to
share their insights and enthusiasm especially with younger scientists and students from
all over the world. Sponsorship is an integral part of ensuring both established and
emerging scientists attend the Congress to enrich the professional life of the whole
physics/chemistry/engineering community including those commercial entities that actively
support research by developing new products and processes.
Benefits to the sponsor
Corporations and companies that directly benefit from the business
generated by solar cells research have a special role to play in sponsorship of the
Congress. For these groups, the Congress offers not only a return represented by their
products being identified in the international scientific community, but also a chance to
communicate with the wider community about the role that they play in solar cells research
in its broadest sense.
Sponsors, through the Congress, will have access to a large number of
physicists, chemists, biomedical engineers, materials scientists, etc. from a variety of
countries who will be assembled at one place and at one time. Scientists attending this
Congress often have major budgets to disburse and need to make decisions about spending in
research, teaching, and clinical situations. If these people are important to your
business, this Congress is an important opportunity for you to address your market.
Sponsors will benefit by close association with a top international
scientific Congress. This will allow them to capitalise on the associations of forward
thinking and leading edge research in promotion of their products and image. The Congress
will be a significant national and international media event, and will provide an
opportunity for wide exposure of sponsors products and services.
