The conference will be carried out in two main directions. (1) “Photosynthesis Research for Sustainability”, which will be devoted to the study of the structure, functions and biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus. Within this direction, the problems of light-driven processes of photosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis and its metabolism, as well as the sustainability of the photosynthetic apparatus to stress factors will be discussed. (2) “Hydrogen Energy Research for Sustainability” will be devoted to the studies of biological production of hydrogen. This direction of the Conference will include recent advances in the study of the molecular basis of photosynthetic hydrogen formation. Both directions include fundamental and applied aspects of research, and works in the field of artificial photosynthesis and nanotechnology.

The text of your abstract. On the other hand the further development of various forms of activities entails the process of implementation and upgrading of significant financial and administrative conditions. A varied and rich experience in the scope and location of staff training is an interesting experiment to test new proposals. Ideological considerations of a higher order, as well as constant quantitative growth and scope of our activity allows us to estimate the value of personnel training system, and meets urgent needs. Ideological considerations of a higher order, as well as the strengthening and development of the framework requires us to analyze participatory systems.[1] A varied and rich experience of constant information and propaganda support of our business requires us to analyze trends progressive development.

The sustainability and productivity of plants under adverse environmental conditions are to the large extent determined by their ability to optimize and maintain efficiency of photosynthetic machinery. This Special Issue summarizes recent advances in photosynthesis research for sustainability of agricultural and natural systems.
The topics covered include:
The Hermitage is one of the largest and oldest museums in the world. It was founded by Catherine the Great. The museum includes masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso, Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt and many others. Experts say it would take 11 years to examine about 3 million exhibits in the Hermitage.
St. Petersburg is a Russian port city on the Baltic Sea. It was the imperial capital for 2 centuries, having been founded in 1703 by Peter the Great. The city remains Russia’s cultural center, with its world-famous museums, palaces and theatres.
From late May to early July nights are bright in Sankt-Peterburg, but the real White Nights normally last from June 11 to July 2. The nature of the White Nights (Beliye Nochi) can be explained by the geographical location of Sankt-Peterburg. It is the world’s most northern city with a population over 1 million.
Some attractive sights can be found in the suburbs, such as Peterhof, Pavlovsk, Tsarskoe selo. All these places have once served as the official residences for Russian tsars. And, it goes without saying that there are many magnificent palaces to be seen, such as the Great Yekaterininsky Palace, the Aleksandrovsky Palace, the Bolshoi Palace and some others. Tsarskoe selo was also the place where famous Russian writer, Pushkin, grew up St. Peterburg has many attractions.

Мы прогуляемся к нижнему парку, поговорим о знаменитых фонтанах и четырех мощных каскадах — их эстетических и инженерных особенностях, истории и символике. Во время променада по регулярному парку, любуясь идеальными газонами, садовыми фигурами, лабиринтами и павильонами, вы поймете, почему Петергоф снискал славу русского Версаля.
Красоту залов Большого дворца не передать словами, её надо видеть в живую — именно для этого сюда ежегодно приезжают миллионы туристов. Эта экскурсия предоставит Вам такую возможность.
