We express our appreciation to all the attendees for valuable discussions and interactions on various aspects of photosynthesis at the 2016 conference, presented here. We thank all the members of the International organizing committee for their help with the various sections, and the committees, mentioned in this report for the selection of the Awardees; further, we are grateful to all the chairpersons of the poster sessions for their help. We thank the International Society of Photosynthesis Research (ISPR), International Association for Hydrogen Energy (IAHE), Agrisera-Antibodies for Plant Sciences, Russian Photobiological Society, and three Russian companies (“OOO Fitosila”, “Pushchinskie laboratorii”, and “Speclabproekt”) for their support. We are thankful to T. Nejat Veziroğu and Ineke Ravesloot (on behalf of Govindjee and Tom Sharkey) for mailing books to the conference for the awards given to the young scientists. We thank all the members of the local organizing committee for their wonderful work that led to a very smooth running of our conference. Our special thanks go to Dmitry A. Los for the creation and support for the conference web site, and to Toshiyuki Shinoda and Alexander Shitov for most of the photographs used here.
