CHOSE
CHOSE built the historical foundation of ISOPHOS as a school dedicated to hybrid and organic photovoltaic research.
Organizer
ISOPHOS 2026
ISOPHOS is an international school dedicated to hybrid and organic photovoltaics, built through a long scientific history and now shaped by CHOSE, CNR and Cicci Research.
Why Cicci Research co-organizes it
Cicci Research entered the ISOPHOS project in 2016, bringing its experience in emerging optoelectronic technologies and the specific tests needed to study them. Today we are glad to co-organize the school and manage hands-on sessions because ARKEO was built exactly for this environment: real devices, real measurements and direct contact between students, researchers and instrumentation.
ISOPHOS was historically organized around the CHOSE community, the Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, with the contribution of the Italian research ecosystem around CNR.
The current school continues that path with an organizing board that includes CNR-ISM, University of Rome Tor Vergata and Cicci Research.
The school brings together students, researchers and companies working on organic, perovskite, dye-sensitized and 2D-material photovoltaic technologies.
Our contribution is focused on practical measurement workflows: JV, stability, light soaking, environmental control and hands-on operation of advanced characterization tools.
ISOPHOS heritage
CNR
CNR represents the national research community that now contributes to the scientific continuity and organization of the school.
Cicci Research
Cicci Research joined the ISOPHOS story in 2016, adding instrumentation, practical testing workflows and hands-on sessions.
Past editions
The timeline below introduces the path from Ventotene to Talamone. Each edition opens an internal page with the edition website and any reachable public or Drive material.
ISOPHOS through the years
ISOPHOS has grown through many editions and places, from the first schools in Ventotene to Valencia, Jyvaskyla, Castiglione della Pescaia, Arbatax and now Talamone.
CHOSE and the University of Rome Tor Vergata built the historical foundation of the school. Cicci Research joined the ISOPHOS story in 2016, adding instrumentation, practical testing workflows and hands-on training to the scientific programme.
The Talamone editions continue this story with a broader organizing team that also includes CNR-ISM: an international school where students, researchers and companies meet around emerging photovoltaic technologies, practical characterization and hands-on learning.
For Cicci Research, being part of ISOPHOS means helping this community work directly with measurement tools, protocols and real devices, not only with lectures.
