<pre>This workshop presents current frontiers in computational and theoretical studies 
of  basic processes contributing to photo-reactions:
 light absorption, formation and breaking of charge transfer excitations, 
hot carrier relaxation, and reaction dynamics at catalytic sites 
with heavy elements --- all perturbed by environment such as 
lattice vibrations and solvent polarization and, therefore treated with 
&quot;open system&quot; approach: Non-adiabatic dynamics, on-the-fly coupling, 
surface hopping, and density matrix equation of motion became 
computational tools of choice for ab initio treatment of 
nonequilibrium dynamics in molecules and nanostructures. 
The open challenge arises in processes with spin-orbit coupling, 
optical excitation and motion of nuclei are of equal importance. 
Further theoretical advances are needed for interpretation of 
experimental data and applications ranging from charge transfer 
in semiconductor nanocrystals for photovoltaics and surface reactions 
for photocatalysis to spectroscopy of color centers in laser crystals, 
transition metal and rare earth ions in solid host matrices and soft 
coordination complexes, molecular magnets, and biolabels. 
Workshop targets conversion of experimental probes and 
computational descriptions of excited electronic state 
and reaction dynamics of broad range of nano-structured materials  
for photo-catalytic and photovoltaic applications.
