9. Objectives
The overall theme, style and atmosphere of the Conference will adhere to those of preceding PSST Meetings:

•Mallorca, PSST-1998
•Madrid, PSST-2000
•Tenerife, PSST-2002
•Cullera, Valencia, PSST-2004
•Sitges, Barcelona, PSST-2006

•Valencia, PSST-2010
The Conference will critically analyze the changes in state-of-the-art in the field of porous semiconductors during the two years that have passed since the PSST-2010 event. The emphasis will be kept on developing and understanding fabrication, properties and uses of porous semiconductors. We are the only international conference entirely dedicated to porous semiconductors, promoting their use in life sciences, as well as electronics, sensing, chemical and photochemical applications.

The Conference will continue to serve to connect researchers interested in physics and chemistry of semiconductors, optics, electrochemistry, analytical instrumentation, biochemistry, medicine and other related fields. Both established experts and representatives of emerging fields are welcome to attend, establish new cooperation links and achieve better results through coordination of their efforts.

10. Scope and Topics
The Program of the Conference will include up to 8 invited talks, as well as oral and poster presentations. Reports related to all aspects of porous semiconductors are welcome. Nevertheless, the Organizing Committee strongly recommends conforming submitted contributions to particular topics proposed by the Conference Chairs:

Prof. Androula Nassiopoulou (NCSR Demokritos, Greece) -

•Electrochemical and metal-assisted chemical etching.
•Pore filling
•Microsystems engineering
•Electronic applications
Prof. Leigh Canham (pSiMedica Ltd., UK) -

•Novel fabrication techniques
•Luminescence & microphotonics
•Comparative studies with mesoporous ceramics & mesoporous metals
•Medical diagnostics, imaging and therapy
Prof. Michael Sailor (University of California at San Diego, USA) -

•Mesopore chemistries & confinement effects
•Sensors
•Energy conversion
•Novel structures & emerging applications

The final program will be published by January 30, 2012. Type of presentation (invited, oral or poster) will be determined by the Advisory Board through voting (results will be available on the Conference website). Authors will be informed of the modality of their presentation in advance and will have access to their personal marks.

11. Short course
Introductory Short Course will be organized at the beginning of the Conference on Sunday, 25 March, 2012 for young scientists and newcomers to the field, similarly to those provided during previous years.

13. Submission of Abstracts
All Conference Abstracts will be published in a special book (with ISBN) available for the participants upon arrival to the Conference site.

Deadline for submission of Abstracts is December 25, 2011. Please meet this deadline to assure the inclusion of your contributions into the book of Abstracts.

The authors are kindly asked to submit their Abstracts in electronic format through the PSST 2012 Web-site. This will make processing and evaluation more efficient and fast.

Special TEMPLATE must be used to ensure correct formatting of your abstract. It is available for downloading from our Web-site. Our extensive experience in Abstracts preparation for printing the Book of Abstracts leads us to strongly recommend using the only MS Word 2003 format. Please save your abstract in this format before uploading it to the WEB. Please avoid sending MS Word 2007 and PDF files. As previous Conferences have shown these files may be distorted at the moment of printing, so a special control and a rejecting of such formatted abstracts is foreseen in our informatics system. The Abstracts will be published in the Book of Abstracts directly from the authors� originals.

The extended Abstract should not exceed two A4 pages, each consisting of one column of text (160x240 mm). Please do your best to clearly state objectives, new results, and conclusions or significance of the work. Please do not squeeze too much information into the Abstract - excessive volume of text would make your work difficult to read.

Text, references, tables, graphs, and figures should be placed within the limits of the column, including the empty areas of the plots. The abstract must not include graphs, plots etc. in the form of embedded objects like Origin. Convert them, instead, into images and insert into the text.

The finished abstract must be uploaded into the Conference site by a corresponding author selecting the two preferred topics, main and secondary. If a poster presentation is preferred, please indicate so. While sending the abstract please introduce the names of all co-authors. The extended list of former participants at the PSSTs will help you to fulfill this obligatory procedure. The adherence to the above mentioned formatting instructions will be verified by the system prior to the upload. If you encounter problems while submitting your files, please make sure your work meet all the above criteria.

All the (co)-authors registered on and logged into the Conference Web- site will be able to check the status of their abstracts, the modality as assigned by the members of the Advisory Board, the date and time of their presentations during the Conference. The Conference Program will be finished in late January and published at the PSST 2012 WEB. The authors should visit it for the Program details. If you have any question, please contact us via email.

14. Conference Prizes
A long standing PSST tradition of awarding official prizes for Best Talk of the Day, Best Poster and Best Contribution of the Conference will be upheld once again. As usual, most of the prizes will be awarded through direct voting by the participants. Some less official and friendly prizes will also be established.

17. Contributed papers, submission and publication
The Organizing Committee is working to conclude an agreement with Wiley to publish the presented contributions. Authors will be additionally informed and encouraged to submit full size manuscripts for publication in the Proceedings Volume of the Physica Status Solidi similarly to what has been done at the previous PSST Congresses. The papers demonstrate justified scientific value may be published as a regular paper in Physica Status Solidi (a), more technical and experimental works will be published in a (c) series. Assignations will be done at a moment of the manuscript acceptance by Guest Editors and Referees.

The Proceedings will appear in print within six-eight months after the Conference, nevertheless the on-line publication will be available immediately upon acceptance. The authors and all registered on the PSST 2012 Conference participants will receive an electronic disc of this Proceedings Volume.

The length of each paper is limited (journal format) to 8 pages for invited talks and to 5 pages for contributed papers. The manuscripts should be submitted directly on-line to the Phisica Status Solidi Editorial to the Conferences habilitated area (PSST 2012). It is necessary to ensure a correct formatting of the paper - for this purpose please use the Template for Papers available on the PSST-2012 and PSS WEBs. Authors will be allowed to upload their full size manuscripts later on January 2012.

All the manuscripts will be reviewed by the members of the International Scientific Committee and shortly after that the authors will be informed about the acceptance of the paper or the necessary improvements to be done.

18. Transportation
No shuttle transportation is foreseen for the participants due to proximity of the Malaga airport to the city (appr. 20 km) and good public transportation means. Monte Malaga Hotel is situated practically in the heart of the city, at Paseo Maritimo Antonio Machado, 10. The Web- site contains detailed information on how to arrive to the hotel from the airport.

19. Social Program
Several social activities are included in the Registration Fee:
