It gives us immense pleasure to invite you to participate in the second chapter of International Conference on Photophysics and Photochemistry (ICOPP) 2026 supported by International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy to be held from 26th – 28th March 2026, organized by the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) at Lecture Theatre P.C. Saxena Auditorium , IIT Bombay. This International conference aims to enlighten National and International researchers with the recent advancements in Photophysics and Photochemistry through several keynote and invited lectures by distinguished speakers from India and abroad to exchange scientific ideas and foster future collaborations. 

The conference aims to promote a dynamic and interactive forum for the exchange of ideas and comprehensive discussions between the experts and young academic students or early-career researchers whose work involves the interaction of light and matter in a broader sense. The conference theme, relevant to renewable and sustainable energy, spans diverse range of topics from light-chemical energy conversion via green synthetic methods based on artificial photosynthesis, photo(electro)catalytic water splitting, electrocatalysis, carbon dioxide reduction reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction; to the study of theoretical and/or spectroscopic investigation of charge carrier recombination pathways and efficient charge carrier transport in light emitting diodes, photodetectors, field-effect transistors, photoelectrochemical cells, nonlinear optical crystals, monolithic/tandem photovoltaics, bulk (anomalous) photovoltaics, and much more associated with the theoretical underpinnings behind the experimental observations.

The conference program will feature invited talks, contributed sessions, including both oral presentations and poster sessions, to provide a unique platform for young researchers/scientists/senior PhD students to present their scientific works on topics of technological and theoretical relevance to the theme of our conference. We extend a warm welcome to all the scientists, academicians, and technologists around the globe to this exciting conference. Join us as we probe into the cutting-edge theoretical methodologies and experimental developments driving progress in the field of photophysics and photochemistry.
