This symposium centers on the science and technology of luminescence, in its broader sense, including photo-, thermo-, electro- and mechano-luminescence. The aim is to gather international experts as well as students to discuss the recent progresses in this highly inter- and multi-disciplinary area, with particular attention to the synthesis characterization, and applications of materials exhibiting advanced luminescence properties.
