The Meeting will include one welcome, three keynote, 12 invited and several contributed oral and poster presentations. The welcome lecture shall be held on Sunday, 16th March and it will be presented by Professor Christos Comninellis, École Polytecnique Fédéral de Lausanne, Switzerland. The daily program will comprise two oral sessions in parallel, which may be followed by a poster session in the late afternoon, with an open bar towards the end (see Program Schedule).
Topical Areas
Taking into account the theme of the Meeting, Electrochemistry for a Healthy Planet, the list of topics has been limited to the following two areas:
Environmental analytical electrochemistry: monitoring the planet;
Environmental electrochemical engineering: protecting the planet.
For possible sub-topics, please see the section Scope.
