The Workshop with about 40 participants was organized by Prof. Horst Kisch. The on-line proceedings are available on this home-page.
The 3rd European Summer School on Solar Energy was organized by Prof. Daniel Vanmaekelbergh in Hirscheg (Kleinwalsertal) - the same location as the first Summerschool - in September 2003. It was a great success, as Daniel Vanmaekelbergh coul report.
