Abstract

[Extract] There has been a long tradition of photochemistry research in Australia and New Zealand from the early years of the 20th Century and many research institutions have some programs in photochemical science. The high activity in photochemistry not only arises from the personal interests of researchers, but from the geography which places much of Australia in one of the highest solar flux regions on earth which has important implications for developing solar energy conversion and storage applications but also in photo-protection of materials. Australia and New Zealand were foundation members of the APA and have hosted several international photochemistry meetings including the 6th Asian Photochemistry Conference (Wellington, New Zealand, 2010) and the 22nd International Conference on Photochemistry (Cairns, Australia, 2005). While it is not feasible to list all the photochemistry research programs underway in this short article, we describe below a selection of activities that we hope can be expanded in a future edition of the Newsletter.
