This meeting covers all fundamental and applied aspects of modern electrochemistry, with a
special emphasis this year on electrochemistry on the nanoscale. The meeting is aimed at academic
and industrial practitioners of electrochemistry, in its widest sense, spanning materials chemistry,
nanoscale science, sensing, and electrochemical engineering.
Registration
Registration will begin at 12.30 pm on Monday 15 September. The conference will open after lunch
with a plenary lecture, following which there will be parallel sessions of contributed lectures and
keynote talks. In the evening there will be an extended poster discussion session, during which light
