Is Michael Gratzel’s keynote talk “Light and energy” for the layman, non-expert? I’d be interested in attending if it is for the non-expert. I don’t have any background in solar cell technology — or any technology (excluding my toaster).
In future, is there a way a potential attendee can find out if a certain WEP talk is for the layman or people familiar with the field?
