Welcome
Dear Colleagues, A very warm welcome to the 2023 Horizons Symposium: Electronic and energy materials. Co-hosted by Materials Horizons and Nanoscale Horizons, this event aims to showcase a wide variety of cutting-edge work in the areas of electronic and photonic materials, and materials for energy applications, at the interface of materials and nanoscience. The focus of this symposium is to highlight how materials science is contributing to some of the biggest global challenges of our time, bringing together leading researchers and emerging investigators from a broad range of backgrounds and from across the globe. We strongly encourage delegates to raise questions to our speakers and poster presenters during the discussion and throughout our dedicated poster sessions to spark collaborations and new ideas across the community. In addition to our stellar line up of invited speakers, we had an overwhelming response to the call for poster abstracts, and we encourage you to visit them at the meeting. We hope there will be many opportunities during the meeting for informal discussions where you can make new connections as well as renew old ones. Over the last several years, Materials Horizons and Nanoscale Horizons have rapidly established themselves amongst the most important publication venues for research in materials and nanoscience. The symposium will provide a way for our wide community to get in touch with the Editorial Board members, journal editors and fellow researchers across a broad range of topics in materials and nanoscience. It will also be a great way to learn more about the journals and hear about exciting new projects to look out for. We’d like to thank each of the speakers, poster presenters and participants for all their contributions. We would especially like to extend our thanks to Professor Norbert Koch for his dedication and hard work as chair of this meeting, as well as to the scientific committee for their enthusiastic commitment to the symposium and its participants. Again, welcome to what promises to be an exciting symposium. We hope that this event will act as a springboard for future activities and will help in fostering new research collaborations.
