The Symposium F: “Novel materials for electronic, optoelectronic, photovoltaic and energy saving applications” of the 2013 E‐MRS Fall Meeting (held in Warsaw, Poland, on 16–20 September 2013) was organized to cover many important aspects of basic and applied research of novel materials for present and future industrial applications. Particular emphasis was given to new technological and application concepts concerning both bulk crystals and various quantum structures of reduced dimensionality, like quantum wells and quantum dots (nanoparticles). The presented results on application‐oriented materials were mostly focused on light emitting structures, light detectors, solar cells and materials for spintronics. Special attention was given to the technological aspects and challenges: growth techniques, defect control and structure optimization, doping procedures, optical properties and degradation processes. Relevant experimental techniques and crystal growth procedures were also discussed. Experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations giving deeper insight into many problems of modern materials science. Over 100 researchers from all over the world participated in this symposium, giving in all 15 invited lectures, 38 contributed talks and 70 poster presentations.
