The event is titled *"The Importance of Basic Sciences in Addressing the 
Global Energy Crisis"* and will focus on how basic science can help to 
bring renewable energy conversion to the forefront of the world's future 
energy landscape.

Panelists include *Richard Catlow*, an expert in solid state chemistry 
and materials science at University College London (and co-president of

of photocatalytic water splitting.

Following the event some light refreshments will be served on the terrace.
