Conference topics covered organic photovoltaic materials, photovoltaic devices, roll-to-roll fabrication processing, device physics, new device structure, device stability, and nearly all the aspects of the organic photovoltaic.

Comparing with the GOPV 2011, GOPV 2012 enhanced the discussion and exchange between experts and young scientists in the form of Young Scientist Form. 9 young researches, including assistant professors, post-doctors, Ph.D students gave their talks.
