Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Electrochemistry is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting will cover topics of research including (but not limited to) fundamental electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electrochemical energy storage, bioelectrochemical systems, single molecule/entity electrochemistry, theoretical and computational electrochemistry, organic electrochemistry and electroanalytical methods.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Electrochemistry" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
