Over the past a few years, there has been an explosive growth of interest in both fundamental research and industrial applications of Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCOs). This unique class of fascinating materials is entering a variety of cutting-edge applications, such as, solar cells, gas sensors, organic light-emitting diodes, liquid crystal and high definition displays, electrochromic and smart windows, as well as architectural coatings. As evident from the tremendous worldwide research activities that range from fundamental physics to materials fabrication and TCO-based device development, the international TCO research community has decided to start an initiative by organizing the 1st International Symposium on Transparent Conducting Oxides. The historic and beautiful island of Crete in Greece was selected as the site for this very first symposium dedicated to TCO research. One of the largest scientific research centers of Greece, IESL - FORTH located at Heraklion, Crete, will be the proud host of the symposium.

Session titles
The range of topics selected to be included in the present symposium are listed below. They are not exclusive and have been proposed in order to be as broad as possible so as to provide a platform for a large number of contributions, maximizing the impact of this 1st multi-disciplinary focused symposium on Transparent Conductive Oxides
* Fundamentals
o TCOs and their structure
o Modeling and simulation
o Carrier dynamics
o Electrical, mechanical and optical properties
o Piezoelectric, magnetic and ferroelectic TCOs
* Fabrication, Processing, Characterization
o Physical techniques (PLD, sputtering, etc)
o Chemical techniques (CVD, PE-CVD, MOCVD, ACG, Spray pyrolysis, spin coating etc.)
o Direct writing and pattering
o New tools and equipment
* Applications
o TCO sensors (environmental / food / medical)
