Previous Workshops

The SOPHIA workshop now looks back on a long history. In the past years, the workshop has helped to shed light on the current topics of the industry. In addition, it offers plenty of space for networking between experts and scientists in the PV industry. The organization is carried out by Fraunhofer ISE whereas the hosts change annually, thus the venue also changes annually. The hosts get the opportunity to present their institution and laboratories.
