Welcome
Jenny Zhang
Welcome to the 20 th issue of the SFN newsletter! In this issue, we are delighted to announce that SFN members can apply for conference/research funding assistance, outreach assistance, collaborations, and more ( link to section) via SuperSolar. The program for our annual SFN Symposium in March is now available ( link to PDF); it’s shaping up to be a rich program with many international speakers. We hope to see many of you there - please make sure you have fully registered if you are coming ( link to section). The Faraday Discussion has now reached registration capacity, but there is still room in the Doppler Symposium ( link to section). There are PhD studentships available for October 2019 ( link to section), and many solar fuels related national and international meetings taking place in 2019 ( link to section).

- £500 per person with rest to be paid by institute/research group.
International research/industrial/outreach support
- Grants up to £20k for growing networks, commercialisation, creating partnerships in solar, and outreach.
- Applications open once a year, usually at the end of the year (last one was in November 2018).
Support for SFN-related meetings
- Funding support for the annual SFN Symposium.
- SFN meeting organisers are eligible to apply for 10 paid places for students. Please enquire with SuperSolar for funding approval as this will be dependent on the number/types of SFN meetings held that year.
