Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to cordially invite you to 7^th International Meeting

"Photosynthesis Research for Sustainability - 2016"

in honor of Nathan Nelson and T. Nejat Veziroglu

The meeting will be held in Pushchino, Russia from June 19 to 25, 2016

Your participation is important for the success of the Meeting, and will be very much appreciated. This Meeting will be a great occasion for discussions of previous, present, and future research on photosynthesis, from molecular to global, and will provide an exciting scientific program, which will cover the breadth and depth of photosynthesis, and to meet researchers of Photosynthesis from around the world. This meeting will provide a forum for students, postdoctoral fellows and scientists from different countries to deepen their knowledge and understanding, widen professional contact, to create new opportunities and establish new collaborations
