solar energy. The first part of the meeting was the Conference on the Use of
Solar Energy: the Scientific Basis, held at the University of Arizona in
October of 1955. This was followed by the World Symposium on Applied Solar
Energy, held in Phoenix in November of 1955. Scientists and engineers from 36
countries attended these meetings. Additionally the Solar Furnace Symposium of
1957 was held in Phoenix.
